The event runs in conjunction with the Outlaw Half Nottingham and follows the same swim and bike routes. 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 for a Grandstand finish and collect your medal.
