Official event pageWhat this race demands
This short-distance triathlon demands a high-intensity effort across all three disciplines, requiring efficient pacing from the start.
Multi-discipline transition
Athletes must rapidly shift physiological systems from the open-water swim to the estate cycle, and finally to the parkland run.
High-intensity pacing
Because the total distance is relatively short at 25.7 km, the event demands sustained high output without the pacing margins required in longer endurance races.
