• Description: The event is based out of the Mighty River Domain at Lake Karapiro, about 7 minutes drive from Cambridge.
  
  Swim - a 2 lap triangular circuit from the main boat ramp right in the heart of the Domain. Lots of great spectator viewing and a great swim for the competitors! Usually about 17 degrees.
  
  Bike - A course that incorporates approx 19km's of flat at the start and finish of the course and some rolly countryside on a 3 lap loop in the middle. Hilly enough that it will stop the bunches forming but easy enough that even an absolute recreational rider will make it through without blowing a fuse!
  
  Run - A 2 lap course using a loop running along the recently constructed cycleway/walkway between the Lake and Leamington township. Pretty flat and fast and for most of it you have a choice between concrete or grass.
  
  There will be loads of onsite entertainment, food, coffee, supporting events and wicked scenery for the supporters and spectators AND a Rowing Regatta will be on the Lake once we are finished swimming so plenty of things to see and do for your supporters.
