THE HUNTSMAN TRIATHLON

***This event has now SOLD OUT!***
Located on the grounds that Cola the Huntsman is mentioned in the doomsday book and the famous hunting playground of William the Conqueror. Now we are no longer hunting wild animals and they roam freely, we now hunt PB's! The course is a fast one! Start with a smooth swim in the stunning Ellingham Lake, followed by a bike through the beautiful New Forest National Park and end with a pretty flat run through quiet country roads making this a perfect early season triathlon.
Choose from a middle distance, standard or sprint distance triathlon. We also have an aquabike and duathlon option if you don't fancy all three disciplines or grab a couple of mates and take on the relay option.

"One of the BEST early season UK races out there. Swim in the beautiful Ellingham lake, clear clean water with a good level of water safety. Then off on the bike for a zip around the new forest which is simply stunning and really fast. After all that you get a great, mostly flat and fast tarmac run. It’s brilliantly marshalled and supported. Great energy and nothing but good vibes. Summary…if it’s not on your Calendar IT SHOULD BE!" Racecheck review 2024
