Event Description
(provided by race organizer)There is a rolling start with aquabike entrants starting from their own group. It is a sea swim with two safety boats and a group of canoeists for support and marshaling. The swim is in a bay protected by the harbour arm against the prevailing winds. There is no cut-off time for either the swim or bike. The bike is a good challenge with reasonable gradient. There is a medal at finish and there is a channel Tri T-shirt The sea is at its warmest in September and the Folkestone climate is clement so wetsuits are optional.
