OUTLAW HALF THORESBY AQUABIKE

Event Info

Date: 8 September 2024               Start Time: 07:00               Distances: SWIM: 1.2M, BIKE: 56M

 

This event follows the same swim and bike route as the Outlaw Half Thoresby triathlon. However, you will head to the finish after your bike leg. This will be a different finish to the main grandstand finish due to the race route logistics.

The 1.2 mile swim starts with a time trial format and takes place in the private lake within the historic Thoresby Park before athletes move on to a spectacular 56mile ride through the north Nottinghamshire countryside. The course is road or TT bike friendly, with plenty of fast sections. Once you return to the Estate, you will finish your race and can collect your finishers medal and t-shirt before enjoying a well-earned rest.

Aquabike is ideal for those who want to challenge themselves and enjoy the Outlaw experience, but either don’t want to or find themselves unable to run.

Minimum Age: Participants must be 18 by 31 December 2024

Bike Course

56 Miles

The single loop bike course will take athletes on a beautiful journey through the north Nottinghamshire countryside, including Walesby Forest and Clumber Park. There is c. 2,000 ft of climbing, with the highest point on the course coming at 51 miles. It’s fair to describe the course as ‘rolling’, with some climbs and plenty of long, fast sections.
