Outlaw Gravel Sprint Holkham

Date: 6 July 2024               Start Time: 9:00               Distances: SWIM: 750m, BIKE: 19KM, Run: 5KM

 

 

We are excited to bring an opportunity for off-road racing with our NEW Gravel Sprint event.

This open water sprint distance triathlon comprises a 750m swim in the lake, an off-road bike course and a 5k run – all within the traffic free grounds of Holkham Estate. It’s a great opportunity for novices as well as those looking to test their speed. Tackle it on your own or join with friends to make a Relay team.

The Bike route will take place on the trails, farm and gravel roads within the Estate. We recommend using a gravel, cyclocross, mountain or sturdy hybrid bike. The course is not technical, however, getting some practice riding on various different types of surfaces including grass and gravel would be a benefit.

The run will primarily be on grass trails and footpaths close to the main event area, which is ideal for spectators! We’d recommend wearing a light trail shoe or a road shoe with good grip for this route.

Minimum Age: 15 years on 31 December 2024 (Individual and Relay)
