This event follows the same swim and bike route as the Triathlon. Your race finish time will be taken when you cross the timing mat as you return to transition after your bike leg. Once you have racked, you can then walk, jog or run to the orange carpet and the finish line to collect your medal.
Aquabike is ideal for those who want to challenge themselves and enjoy the Outlaw experience, but either don’t want to or find themselves unable to run.
// swim course
1.2 miles
The 1.2 mile swim takes place in the stunning private lake at Holkham Estate, set against the impressive backdrop of Holkham Hall. Athletes will start in a time trial format, completing a single loop that takes them to the far end of the lake, around the island, and back to the Transition area positioned directly in front of the Hall.
// bike course
56 miles
The 56 mile bike course takes you out of the estate onto a single-lap, undulating route through some of the most beautiful countryside and coastal roads North Norfolk has to offer, including past Sandringham Estate. Best described as rolling, it isn’t flat, but there are no steep gradients to contend with. On your return, you'll climb up to the Obelisk, where you can admire the stunning views before descending into transition.
