COURSE MAPS

TRANSITION AREA

SWIM

BIKE

RUN

The swim is done in a 50-meter pool and participants with similar swimming ability are set off in groups. The pool is shallow for the whole length so if an athlete is not a great swimmer they can walk sections of the swim.

The bike is on a closed road around the golf course so there is very little chance of cars and motorbikes.

The run is an out and back on the same road as the bike course.
