On The Edge Middle Distance Triathlon
The On The Edge Middle Distance Triathlon is part of the Do3 Multisport Weekend, held at Park Farm in Compton Verney. This event features a course that spans the Warwickshire countryside, utilizing the estate's natural landscape and local minor roads. Participants can enter as individuals or as part of a relay team.
The event consists of several stages:
- Middle Distance Triathlon: A 1.9km swim, 90km bike leg, and 21.1km run.
- Middle Distance Relay: A 1.9km swim, 80km to 90km bike ride, and 21.1km run.
The race starts with a 1.900m two-lap swim in a lake designed by Capability Brown, utilizing a trickle start format where competitors enter the water in pairs. The 90km bike course follows minor roads through the Warwickshire countryside, featuring flat sections alongside technical climbs and descents on the Edge Hill escarpment. The route includes a total elevation gain of 888m.
The final leg is a 21.1km run with 238m of elevation. This segment is mostly off-road, taking place on grass and tracks through meadows and woodlands within Park Farm and the Compton Verney hamlet.
Facilities at the venue include an Event Village with food and drink vendors. The route is fully marked and marshalled, with aid stations provided on both the bike and run courses. Participants receive a finisher’s medal upon completion. On-site parking is accessible via the Fosse Way B4455. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
