This unique and very exciting sprint triathlon, hosted by Lakeside and now in its third year, has been very popular with a really fast flat course that appeals to both the experienced and novice triathlete and offers lots of support on the day with the course overlooked by various viewing areas, bars, cafes, restaurants and shops.
