CYCLE COURSE MAP

This map details the cycle courses for Gauntlet Triathlon, Duathlon and Aquabike routes.

The Courses

The are two cycle courses, 45K and 60K. Different race distances need to complete a certain course and a certain number of laps of this course.

45K Course

Duathlon Middle - 1 lap

Duathlon Long - 2 laps

Gauntlet - 2 laps

60K Course

Aquabike Middle - 1 laps

Aquabike Long - 2 laps

Bastion - 3 laps

Both 45k and 60k courses will take athletes out of Hever Castle, up to through the Ashdown Forest. 60k route athletes will head further south towards the village of Maresfield. The 45k route will not head to Maresfield but instead make their way north via the historic and quintessentially English villages of Groomsbridge, Chiddingstone Causeway and Bough Beech. Once the 60k route athletes have been through Maresfield, they will then retrace their steps to the top of the forest before returning to Hever, rejoining those on the 45k route.

More Than One Loop

If you are completing more than one loop of your route (this would apply to Gauntlets, and long distance Duathlons and Aquabikes) you are not required to re-enter the Hever estate, just carry on to complete your next loop.
