New long-distance triathlon The Legend coming to Snowdonia

Welsh race organisers Always Aim High have got a new iron-distance event up their sleeves – The Legend, taking place in Snowdonia in July 2016.

Billed as “arguably the UK’s toughest and most stunning single-lap iron-distance race”, it will be fully supported and feature a family-orientated festival of triathlon.

The race will start on 12 July with a 3.8km swim in Lake Padarn – home to the Slateman Triathlon – before sending athletes on a 180km bike through “mind-blowing scenery, flawless tarmac and of course a number of iconic climbs”.

Finally, the run stage comprises of a full-length mixed terrain marathon set in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park. The route takes in key climbs such as Bwlch maesgwm, Pen-y-Pass and the infamous Dinorwig Quarries.

Pre-registration is open already here. Routes and all other information can be found here.
