Where Can I Find the Race Maps?

All the race maps can be found here.

Timing

How is the event timed?
Each participant will have their own personal timing chip known as a “dibber”. This is worn at all times and is used to check in at the designated check points.
Do I need to wear the chip for the entire race?

Yes, timing mats will be set up to record splits for each leg and transition. If you do not have the chip on when you cross the finish line you are not guaranteed a finish time.

Where do I wear the chip?

Your timing chip is built-in to your bib number and is usually worn on the upper body.

Safety, Equipment & Training

Are There Any Training Events Coming Up?

Will There Be A Safety Brief Prior To Race Start?

You must bring all mandatory equipment with you throughout the race except on the kayak stage. A buoyancy aid must be worn on the Kayak section and a cycling helmet must be worn on the cycle stage.

It is also imperative that after the kayak section your paddle and buoyancy aid are stored properly, and after the bike section your helmet is safely put away.

What Type of Bike Is Suitable?

As the roads are all good tarmac surface, racing & road bikes are suitable. You can of course use a mountain or other type bike.

All bikes must be road worthy and our bike mechanics will be checking to make sure they are. Good tyres and brakes are essential.

The smoother and thinner your tyre, the faster you will be.

What Type of Footwear Should I Use?

While trail shoes are recommended ordinary good road running runners will suffice.

What If I Want to Use My Own Kayak?

That is not a problem but, your boat must be lake worthy and again a buoyancy aid must be worn. You can leave your boat at lakeside prior to race start.

Sorry, unfortunately we do not hire bikes.
