Iain Hamilton, of One Step Beyond Promotions, commented:
“We are really excited to finally announce this to the public, we have been working for nine months with various authorities to get us to this stage and still have many months of very hard work until we stage what will be the best full distance triathlon in the UK.”
The swim and bike transitions will take place at the National Water Sports Centre at Holme Pierrepont which already plays host to the Nottingham Sprint Distance Triathlon and the National Club Relay Championships every year.
The bike course will be fast but challenging, taking in the best that Nottinghamshire has to offer. The course, which will be partly on closed roads, will enable participants to concentrate on racing, as well as taking in the beautiful Nottinghamshire countryside.
The run will be stunningly scenic, looping between Holme Pierrepont and the Victoria Embankment, making it perfect for spectators and competitors alike. The route will run alongside the River Trent and past Trent Bridge Cricket Ground, Forest’s City Ground and Sven-Goran Eriksson’s new home, the Meadow Lane!
Registration information is currently not available for this new full iron distance triathlon event but information should become available at some point in time at: www.onestepbeyond.org.uk
