Swim Section is now confirmed as CANCELLED

After speaking to Eden council and a site visit yesterday (see photo) we believe that the risk to competitors is too much for the swim section to go ahead and with the forecast being more of the same for next week, the lake is likely to get worse. We understand that some competitors might not be happy with this decision, but we have to think about the safety of all of the all competitors. We have received messages from people saying they have swam in this section of Ullswater and been extremely ill the next day.

We have kept the first run section as short as possible to allow the field to spread out allowing a safe exit from transition onto the road.  For those that are worried about doing an extra run, don't feel it is necessary to sprint round, take your time and jog or walk this lap.

Sprint & Standard Distances: 1 lap of the run course then T1, Bike, T2, Run
