• Description: The Castle Triathlon Series has announced the launch of its first full iron distance race at Hever Castle to be hosted on Sunday 13th July 2014. The new race suitably titled, The Bastion continuing the well-known castle theme, has been created based on the success of The inaugral Gauntlet which saw 400 competitors enter the half iron distance this year at The Hever Castle Triathlon in Kent (29th September 2013).
  
  The swim will take in 2 laps of the recently opened river section of Hever Lake so that swimmers will circumnavigate 16 Acre island within yards of friends and family. The bike course is 3 loops of a tough, but beautiful 60km course ascending over 2,000m as it winds it's way through the High Weald of Kent and the Ashdown Forest. Finally, the run will cover 4 laps of a 10.5km course that follows existing routes around the grounds as well as heading out into the stunning woods and tracks of Chiddingstone parish with its National Trust high street and Castle.
