The Gosfield Lake standard distance triathlon is promoted by Born2tri, based at the Gosfield Lake resort www.gosfieldlake.co.uk close to Braintree and Halstead, Essex. We will have the benefit of a chip timing system in use. The race starts with a single lap 1500 metre swim in Gosfield Lake with swimmers starting in the water and exiting via a beach area. There is a spacious transition area next to the lake, which form the focus of the race. The fast cycle course is mainly on rural roads, with two 20km laps passing through Sible Hedingham, Blackmore End and Beazley End. This is followed by a two lap 10km run over a mixture of paths and grassland. Following the move of the Eastern Region Relays Born2Tri have decided to rekindle the ‘Olympic’ distance race at this fantastic venue. On reaching the entry limit we will keep a small waiting list to replace those who have to withdraw.
