Choose from a SuperSprint, Sprint or Olympic distance & enjoy this rural environment in the East Midlands - a little gem hidden away. Don't forget the addition of Tallington Lakes Aquathlon & Aquabike  - race over the Sprint and Olympic distances with just a swim & run OR a swim & bike.

Set in South Lincolnshire near the historic town of Stamford- an open water event set in a stunning water sports environment with superb facilities. The venue is superb & the price of your entry includes a post race meal of jacket potato, 1 filling (plus a bottle of water) served at Race Village next to the finish line.

In 2018 we made 2 changes to improve the race experience for everyone. We have made an arrangement with Tarmac who are kindly letting us use their overflow car parking space on hard ground next door to the venue so a 3min walk from the car gets you to transition! LOTS more easy & free car parking for everyone!

We also have a new bike entry / exit out of the venue so that it completely avoids the busy entrance of the Water Park - this has changed the course of the run route & has reduced the laps on the run route back down to 1 for Sprint & 2 for Olympic distance.

The swim is set in one of the beautiful, clean, spring fed lakes where the temperature in 2015 was 23 degrees! (Wet suits are optional). Temp currently in 2018 is 18-19 degrees. Taking you out of the venue via the main entrance into the surrounding undulating Lincolnshire countryside the SuperSprint and the Sprint have a 1 lap course. The Olympic follows the Sprint course over 2 laps. The SuperSprint remains fairly flat, whilst the Sprint and the Olympic have a little more elevation, yet still takes in some beautiful scenery. Staying within the private park, the run follows the road running past the sailing centre with lakeside views. The residents come out to cheer you on making it a friendly atmosphere & gives you the encouragement you need for the final leg.

New addition to 2018 - AQUABIKE. No this is not cycling underwater! Take part in another multisport event swimming and cycling. No running required!

Only 1.5 hours from London, near the cathedral city of Peterborough & the historic town of Stamford we hope you will enjoy the facilities this unique location has to offer after the main event! If you are thinking about making a weekend of it with the family, this is the perfect place. Set in 205 acres of clean spring fed water, you can water ski, wakeboard, tube-ride, jet ski, windsurf, dinghy sail or canoe on clean & calm water. Or you can fish - just choose the right lake! There is a Lakeside bar & restaurant , a 20 metre heated outdoor pool & a shallow splash pool for little ones with a sundeck area for sunloungers where you can watch the water skiers through the glass walls. There is a fab childrens play area suitable for 5-12year olds.

If you want to maximise a weekend why not book a lakeside lodge or use the camping & caravanning facilities in one of the 88 pitches in landscaped surroundings. The venue have kindly offered a special discounted rate to all athletes & families of only £5 per person per night using their own tent or caravan. The price is for either a tent or a caravan/motorhome pitch, with or without electricity. Obviously they are on a first-come-first-served basis and the electric pitches will go first! You will need to let the bookings desk know at the time of booking that you are part of the triathlon otherwise you will be charged full price. There is no cancellation policy on the campsite so there is no refund if you cancel. Payment has to be made on booking. A refundable deposit of £10 gives you a security card, which gives you full use of the toilet and shower block. Please enquire for lakeside lodge prices & availability.
