Lakeside Triathlon Bike Course

Lakeside Triathlon Bike Course

We are pleased to release the confirmed bike course for the new Lakeside Triathlon which will be held on the 27 June 2010. The exciting new event is aimed at local athletes, and with a flat and fast bike course is an ideal course for first time triathletes.

Athletes will take part in a 750m swim in Lakeside’s beautiful Alexandra Lake followed by a flat and fast 20km bike and a 5km run.

The bike course will start and finish alongside the lake and exit the shopping centre along the A125 before joining  London Road (A126) heading east. Athletes will take a left turn along Devonshire Road to the roundabout, where they will turn left into Elizabeth Road (A1012). A final left turn along the Arterial Road back to Lakeside Shopping Centre will take athletes back to the start, where they will repeat the same loop again before moving on to the run.

Organiser, Iain Hamilton, of One Step Beyond said:

“The course is designed to be simple and will have police support at all major junctions offering cyclists priority over motorists. We’ve had great support from the Thurrock Council and the local police to get this exciting new event up and running.

“The opportunity to race within the grounds of one of Europe’s largest shopping centres is unique and very exciting. Athletes can expect to have lots of support on the day as the course is overlooked by viewing areas, bars, cafes, restaurants and shops.”

Entries and course maps are now available from the Lakeside Triathlon event page.
