#supbikerun returns in 2017

Two SUP triathlons set for 2017, with early bird entry offer ending on 1st December

Athletes take on the SUP leg of a race in 2016

Now entering its fourth year, #supbikerun returns in 2017 with two events. Unlike a swim/bike/run triathlon, the format combines SUP (stand-up paddle boarding), mountain biking and trail running for an event pitched at all abilities.

Each race features two course lengths at each event:

WARRIOR: 3km SUP/15km bike/5km run

BARBARIAN: 6km SUP/30km bike/10km run

Relay options are also included for 2017. Teams can register with 4-8 people and included within the ticket price is the use of one of the giant XL SUP boards. All team members paddle the giant SUP board around the lake before breaking out individually to complete the bike and run trails.

You can save £10 on entry if you book before Thursday 1st December at www.supbikerun.co.uk.

The dates and locations are…

LLANDEGFEDD RESERVOIR

SOUTH WALES – SAT 20TH & SUN 21ST MAY

This venue was the toughest of the 2016 series. Located just outside Pontypool, Llandegfedd is a beautiful reservoir with excellent facilities, on-site camping and super challenging MTB and run trails.

CLUMBER PARK

WORKSOP – SAT 2ND & SUN 3RD SEPTEMBER

Set within 3,500 acres of forest, Clumber Park is a new venue for #supbikerun. Located just outside Worksop, the venue has on-site camping and miles of forest single track to explore.

Each #supbikerun event aims to be a mini-festival weekend with on-site catering, camping and free paddle board and mountain bike workshops, and classes delivered throughout the Saturday.
