Outlaw Half - half full within 5 hours

Even we have been surprised at the interest in our newest event the Outlaw Half. Within the first hour over 150 places had been sold and now over 50% of the places have been sold just 5 hours.

The brand new middle distance event is set to take place for the first time on 2 June 2013 at the National Water Sports Centre in Nottingham.

The event will follow the same format as the long distance Outlaw Triathlon, with a few subtle differences. There will be wave starts starting from 6:30am rather than a mass start at 6am. However, the swim will follow the exact same out and back format in the Regatta Lake with spectators able to walk alongside swimmers to cheer them on.

Out of the swim, athletes will mount their bikes for a speedy get away around the lake and out into the Nottinghamshire countryside. The run will comprise laps of the lake and River Trent path and the finish will take place in front of the spectator grandstand.

The Outlaw Half will be part of a full weekend of triathlon racing, with the previous day featuring the National Sprint Distance Championships in waves throughout the day.

Athletes taking on the Outlaw Half will register on Friday evening (31 May) or Saturday (1 June). Mandatory briefings will take place on Saturday, and racking will be on Sunday morning.
