The Lake District 26 ROAD

About the Event

Immerse yourself in an unparalleled triathlon adventure that combines stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), road cycling, and trail running. This thrilling weekend experience is perfect for athletes of all levels who are looking to challenge themselves amidst breathtaking natural beauty.
The standard distance offers a 3K SUP ride on the serene waters of Ullswater Lake, followed by an invigorating 21K road bike journey through winding paths and scenic vistas, concluding with a 5K trail run along rugged terrain. For those seeking more endurance challenges, the long-distance option extends to 6K SUP, 42K cycling, and a grueling 10K trail run.
Set against the backdrop of England's second-largest lake, Ullswater Lake is framed by majestic mountains in the south and rolling hills to the north. The Pooley Bridge end serves as our main venue, featuring an expansive campsite with direct access to challenging mountain bike routes and picturesque road cycling options.
On Saturday morning, all participants are invited to join complimentary SUP training sessions from 9am - 2pm. These lessons range from beginner classes for those new to the sport to advanced masterclasses and even a unique SUP yoga session. Non-participants can also purchase water access passes to enjoy these activities alongside their friends and family.
Your entry fee covers everything you need, including parking at the venue, professional timing services, an exclusive finisher's medal, and a custom-designed TECH-Tee. To top it off, Event Protect insurance is provided for added peace of mind, and every finisher will receive a refreshing cold beer as they cross the line.
This event promises not only to test your limits but also to provide unforgettable memories in one of England’s most stunning natural settings.
Join us at Ullswater Lake this summer for an experience that blends athleticism with breathtaking scenery.
