Are you looking to step up from a Super Sprint or Sprint triathlon without a daunting Olympic distance swim? Then we have just the thing...

We launched the UK Ultimate 1/4 as a precursor to our 'iron-distance' Ultimate Half Triathlon.

For those of you who find the 1500m Olympic swim a daunting prospect this event offers a fantastic challenge upgrade with just a 0.6mile swim (965m). The event covers one lap of the swim, one lap of the bike and two laps of the run course taken on by the Ultimate 1/2 competitors

The peaceful & scenic venue of Alderford Lake is centrally located in Shropshire on the border of North Wales and is surrounded by Cheshire, Staffordshire, Herefordshire & Worcestershire.

• Freshwater lake swim with no current and no weed
• Picturesque countryside cycle & run routes, ideal for PB's
• Swim start, transition and run finish all within a stone's throw of each other
• Chip Timed & PRINTED RESULTS as you cross the line!
• Spectator friendly venue, great for supporting friends and family
• Fantastic on-site facilities including Showers, parking (charges apply), lakeside café and kids play area
• Finishers medal
• Prizes for overall male & female winners and age group prizes

Camping available at http://alderford.com/stay/ and https://www.abbeygreenfarmcamping.com
