Event overview

The 790 acre reservoir was opened in 1952 and much of the surrounding woodland is a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The race is based at the Sailing Club and provides an opportunity to either compete at the Sprint distance (Non Drafting) or the Olympic distance. A great family weekend with a fast rolling bike, which promises to be a PB course. The event has been taking place since 2006 and in previous years has hosted major championship events.

This event is part of Blithfield Standard.

4 steps to wellbeing
Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
