Taking place at Siblyback Lake, Liskeard, the triathlon will start with a 750m lake swim, before a 1.5k SUP section,  and finally finishing with a 5k loop around the lake. 

The race is open to both individuals and teams. All entrants must be 16+ years old. So please join us and help raise vital funds for your Cornwall Air Ambulance.

Swim-SUP-Run your way around Siblyback Lake having fun at every stroke, push and step.

The 750m swim

This is an open lake sea swim and a staggered start on the edge of the water. The planned swim course will be a clockwise triangle route and back to where you started. After completing the swim, you will exit the water and proceed to the transition area to get your SUP.

The 1.5km SUP

The course will be a straight out and back paddle to the furthest buoy. After completing the SUP leg, you will exit the water and proceed to the transition area where you will leave your SUP, change out of your wetsuit and into your footwear to start the run.

The 5km run

You will exit the transition area and continue the marked course around the lake. There will be marshals scattered around to offer their support and show you on your way, but essentially, you will follow the track around the lake. The finish line will be back where it all began.
