The bike leg is non draft legal and uses roads of the Dengie Peninsula through villages such as Latchingdon, Tillingham, Steeple and Mayland. The run is a largely flat 5km loop along the promenade and sea wall with paved, grass and gravel surfaces; the final kilometre loops around Promenade Park. There is a swim cutoff of 1 hour 10 minutes and an overall event cutoff of 8 hours. Aquabike and relay formats are available. Wetsuit hire is offered and event fundraising supports Alzheimer’s Research UK. Parking is available in Promenade Park with fees applying.
