Blenheim Palace
- 10 June 2012
- Adult £44
- Route A
Ref C1632 · OAP £42 · Child £31
The setting of Blenheim Palace is the most scenic triathlon with a safe environment as all roads are closed. So come along and watch sports men and women taking part in the second largest triathlon in the UK.
The 2,400 competitors will all start with a swim in the lake at various intervals throughout the day. After the swim, the competitors enter the 'transition' area in the Palace Courtyard where they collect their bikes for the cycling section around the stunning surroundings of the park. The bikes are then returned to the Palace Courtyard and their run begins around the Queen Pool with the finish at the flagged area on the road leading away from the Palace. This is alongside the competitor's village where you will be able to find food and further amenities.
The Palace will be open throughout the day. NB. Please note that activity takes place within the Great Court and therefore admission procedures could be affected.
