On The Edge Middle Distance Triathlon
Now in its sixth year, the On The Edge middle distance triathlon is based at Park Farm in the Compton Verney hamlet, Warwickshire. The event features lake swimming, a road bike route through local countryside and an off road run that finishes beside the lake.
Distances:
- 1900 m swim in the Capability Brown designed lake, two laps, trickle start in pairs
- 90 km bike on mostly minor roads through Warwickshire including climbs on the Edge Hill escarpment
- 21.1 kilometres run mainly off road on tracks and trails, finishing in parkland by the lake
The bike course includes flat sections and climbs and is described as suitable for both time trial and road bikes. Road surfaces are reported to be good. The run is multi terrain with meadows and woodlands and firm paths so trail or road shoes are acceptable depending on conditions.
Aid stations are provided on both bike and run courses offering items such as water, gels, fruit and snacks subject to change. Cut off times apply for each discipline and are measured from wave start. British Triathlon membership, either full or one day, is required for entry.
Entry categories include individual, relay and aquabike with published entry fees for each category. Refunds are not offered but options such as switching distance, swapping to relay, deferral or transfer are available within specified time limits.
