Swim

Bike
The bike course is four laps around the lake for the Sprint Distance (20km), six laps for the 3Q (30km) or 8 laps (40km) for the Standard (Olympic) Distance.
Run
The run is a 2.5km loop, which is completed twice for the Sprint Distance (5km), three times for the 3Q (7.5km) or four times for the Standard (Olympic) Distance (10km). The run will be clockwise round the right hand side of the lake, finishing on the grassed area under the finish gantry.

RaceLocation
The event will be held at the rowing venue for the 2012 Olympic Games. Dorney Lake offers a clean open water swim, followed by a closed bike loop around the Lake, and finally the run goes down the side of the lake, making it the perfect course for beginners and seasoned triathletes alike. It's great for spectators, they can see you on each lap.
Full on-site parking means you can come and go while the event is taking place, we have showers and toilets aplenty and there is catering in the Boathouse.
