The Event
The
Gatorade BIG HALF Triathlon is the perfect triathlon challenge set in the fantastic grounds of Trentham Gardens. The shallow lake swim has been vastly improved and the event is an ideal pre event to the UK Ironman Triathlon. If the longer distance BIG HALF Triathlon is not for you then there are four other events on the same day, the Trentham Classic, Sprint and Fun triathlons that are run over basically the same course. All events are flat and fast, yet testing enough for any first time or experienced triathlete. The venue for all the events and the relay triathlon is the idyllic country setting of Trentham Gardens in Staffordshire, which is only a 5 minute drive from junction 15 of the M6. The BIG HALF Triathlon will be one of the most prestigious events in Great Britain in 2008 and is a must do for any triathlete!

The Course
The event starts with the swim in Trentham lake within the gardens and promises to be reasonably warm due to the depth of only approximately 1.5 metres. The cycle course is around the Staffordshire countryside which is relatively flat for a fast time and finally the flat run course on tarmac and gravel track takes in the scenic views of the park and the lake.
