Sunday sees Outlaw Half Nottingham incorporating the new Outlaw Half Nottingham Aquabike. This is a fast middle distance course, which is ideal for everyone from newbies to professionals. Take part in a two or three person relay or try the Aquabike (swim-bike), which takes place at the same time, on the same course as the Triathlon, but your Outlaw race is completed after the bike.

Camping

Onsite camping can be booked directly via the National Water Sports Centre. This is a very short walk from the event site and tends to sell out quickly! The campsite at nearby Thorntons Holt is also popular.

Accommodation

Alternatively there is a wide range of hotels and accommodation in nearby West Bridgford and the City Centre.

Paid parking

The National Water Sports Centre operates an ANPR parking system, and you need to purchase the relevant parking tickets via Park PCM for the days you will be attending the event site. Please remember that those racing on Sunday are required to register and rack on Saturday.

You can purchase tickets in advance via the Park PCM website using code 4455. To purchase a weekend (2 day) ticket, please select Saturday and choose the weekend option.

  • Mass start
  • Water stations
  • Wave start

Timetable

  • 09:00 | Wave 1
  • 11:45 | Wave 2

Start

Start format will be a mass start. Wetsuit requirements will be determined on the day in line with BTF rules, depending on water temperature.

Swim

The swim is a very simple route. Starting at the boat house end of the lake you will swim straight down the lake towards the Tower where you’ll then make a left turn to swim straight across the lake before making a 2nd left turn to swim straight back to exit the lake under the Swim Exit Gantry.

Bike

The bike course is flat and as fast as you want it to be. Keeping the lake on your left as you head to the top of the lake to taking 2 left bends, the 2nd a little tighter than the 1st, before heading straight back up the lake and taking the 2 left hand bends, again the 2nd being tighter than the 1st to complete your 1st of 2 laps.

Run

The run route will test your legs on a single 2.5km loop which will see you loop to an out and back section on the far side of the lake, so there’s no opportunity to relax as your spectators will be cheering you on as you’ll be in full view from the Grandstand, before looping round to finish down the orange carpet back in front of the Grandstand.

A fantastic event I've taken part in twice now. Highly recommend it for first-time and PB-hunting middle-distance athletes. Nathan F

My first ever triathlon at 65 years old and 2 false knees I will never forget this amazing day and made all the better by all the helpers involved πŸ’™ Derek H

Superb event! Can’t recommend it enough! The whole race, the support crew, the hard work behind the scenes just outstanding! The guy with the beard over on the rapids marshalling you made my run!!!! The high fives and the support I got each time I saw you made me smile so much!!!! THANK YOU!!! Jennie P

First race in two years. Fabulous event, great layout for novice and experienced triathletes. Mark B

Just the most amazing experience. A huge challenge for me, but the endless positivity from the volunteer crew was second to none. It's a stunning course and so glad I selected it for my first 70.1. Thank you all so much. Trevor G
