ironman-uk

The ironman-uk will take place in Sherborne. Race-day is August 20, 2006 and the race begins at 6 a.m.

As with all Ironman races the you can expect a mass swim start. The course consists of two loops of Shelourne Lake and the cut-off time is 2 hours and 20 minutes.

Some notes about the swim....

Wetsuits are mandatory. Prepare for the possibility of a delayed start.(extra food/water if you desire). Also due to events beyond organisers control there could be a last minute course change.

The bike course is a looping course and as a result there are only 6 aid stations, but you will them more than once.

The run course is out and back and like the bike takes place in a very picturesque setting.

All entries must be made online @ iron.ironmanuk.com. After January 31st, there will be a late fee of $40.

For the camping enthusiast, this race venue is in an excellent location with some very well equipped campsite areas. A major campsite borders the actual race-course.

There are also hotel accomodations and rooms available at a local girls boarding school. Accomodation information is available on the ironman-uk website.
