The loch has been chosen for its superb water quality and spectacular surroundings.
Short Fast Durty – 500m Open Water Swim (wetsuits compulsory). Once lap, deep water start.
Long Hard Durty – 1000m Open Water Swim (wetsuits compulsory). Two laps, deep water start.
The Mountain Bike section is on a mix of great fast forest roads (some less well used, and so a bit rougher), and shorter fun-dabby-dozy twisty, narrow rooty forest singletrack.
In general, we will be designing a course that is mostly ‘Blue’ standard or below for the Short Fast Durty course (with a small amount of fun singletrack thrown in)
The Long Hard Durty course will have some more ‘Red’ and ‘Black’ sections – if you’ve practiced on a mountain bike before the race, you’ll have a quicker and happier time! You’ll need a mountain bike, and Helmets are compulsory.

The Run will be on a mix of forest trails, and includes a section of open hill running (Long Hard Durty only) with breath-taking views.
Take 30 seconds to look around you!.
