Event Detail

Set amid rural Woodford with its picturesque scenery this event has something to suit all abilities.

It doesn't matter if you’re just starting your muti-sport journey or looking to smash a PB this course has something to challenge everybody. 

Both bike and run are flat with a short, punchy hill on the bike, taking you into the rural suburb roads of Woodford, Wilmslow and Mottram St Andrew.

The Sprint starts at 9 am with the Super Sprint following at 10, so there will be a great atmosphere throughout the morning, with participants of all abilities present.

Our Super Sprint distance is perfect for a beginner or a race simulation training session, whereas the Sprints are ideal progression opportunities or a good sharpener for the more experienced athlete.

This event is also an ideal choice for the Triathlete looking for some post Season training.  Practice transition and bike skills whilst getting some running miles in before the start of the season.

Event Briefing Details

Arrival

Please arrive 30 - 45 minutes before your start time (9 am Sprint / 10 am Super Sprint). This should give you ample time to familiarise yourself with the transition, warm up, discuss any queries you may have with the team and use the facilities if necessary. 

Car Parking

There is ample free parking on site as well as nearby side roads with adequate space to park. As this event is within a residential area, please ensure you park with due care and respect for residents. Please note if your bike is on your roof, you'll need to take it off before coming into the car park as there is a height restriction.

Registration

Please bring your entry confirmation email so we can scan you in. You will collect your race number at registration as you arrive at the event where we will also check your helmet. You can then make your way into transition to rack your bike. This will be your area to keep your bike and trainers and any nutrition/hydration you may require during the event.

Transition Area

You can keep your bike, running shoes and any nutrition/hydration, you require during the event in and around transition. Please keep any bags or items you will not need during the event in your car. There will be no additional storage available.

Spectators & Support

Spectators are actively encouraged.  There is no better feeling than crossing that finishing line in front of a roaring crowd.  Come down and bring the family.  There is a lovely pub serving great food just down the road from the venue.

Start

The start line will be clearly marked and pointed out during our pre-event meeting. 

Please be ready to start at your allocated time to avoid holing up any other participants.

Run

Please run on the left side of the pavement to allow for overtaking and returning runners.

Overtaking is allowed but if you are overtaken, please drop back slightly to allow for adequate distance. If you overtake, please move over to the right, but ensure you avoid any oncoming runners.

Run 2 - Sprint - 1 lap / Super Sprint - 1 lap (antisclockwise)

Ride

The mount line will be well out of the car park/transition area, and it will be marked with a flag. The dismount line will be at the same line as where you mounted your bike. Please walk/run with your bike from/to transition. DO NOT mount or dismount before these points. This has been put in place to avoid any confusion between cyclists, runners or motorists as well as providing additional space to adhere to social distancing.

All riders MUST wear a helmet and will not be allowed on the course without one.

Ride - Sprint - 2 laps / Super Sprint - 1 lap (anticlockwise)

Finish

The finish line will be at the same place as the start line where your time will be recorded. Please make your way safely from the finish line back to transition where you will be able to cool down and catch your breath.
