Race Information
	The swim for the Ripon Trident Triathlon takes place in the gently flowing River Ure. Athletes take a short walk from race HQ upstream. From here athletes swim 1500m downstream, ideal if you wish to step up the distance from sprint to standard distance triathlon. The river is wide, clean and most of all very easy to navigate. Exit straight up the main Newby Hall gardens for one of the most iconic swim/bike transition runs in the UK (route details)
	The bike course is an accurate 40km route. It is flat, fast and safe, utilising some of the local roads which see very little traffic on a Sunday morning. The majority of the bike route takes you South onto the A168 and then North towards Dishforth. This road is quiet, flat, wide, and has a great road surface: perfect for both TT riding and less confident riders. The route will allow you to chase that all important PB (route details)
	The 2 lap run takes you through the private grounds of Newby Hall. The running surface is excellent underfoot, with a mixture of tarmac and track. The two lap route allows spectators to see how your race is developing, but it also allows you to experience the great atmosphere and pushes you to run your fastest 10 km yet on this fast course (route details).
