8th June | Race 5 Beaver Middle Distance | Cat A Senior / Vets | A real tough test for competitors. The swim is ok but the run to transition – testing. The cycle route is mostly fast and then the run. Always a good idea to have practiced hill running before arrival at the Beaver hill run course. | Just Racing UK |
9th June | Race 6 Speedy Beaver | Novice | A superb open water swim location in front of the castle but the water is somewhat murky. Fast cycle with one hill climb. Run may test summer fitness. | Just Racing UK |
