Home News Channel 4 confirms Outlaw coverage. All other items can be brought into transition on race morning. You can cover your bike if you wish to, but please think about how you do it if it is windy. A fully covered bike can become a sail! You will register and present your ID and race license when you come to rack on Saturday. We cannot register anyone without photo ID so please make sure you bring it with you.
Please make sure that you wear your security wristband for the whole weekend as you will not be able to retrieve your bike without it! The course maps are available for you to download from our website. It is possible that these routes may be subject to change, however we are confident that these are the routes that will be used. Please note — you may not be able to access all parts of the course in advance of the race and some sections may require extra caution or be unsuitable to use without the race day traffic management in place.
There are often major events being held at the National Watersports Centre which may restrict access. A practice swim will be available at some point on the Saturday — details will be provided nearer the time in your race information.
This is entirely dependent on the weather in the preceding weeks. We will not know definitively until the temperature is measured on the morning of the event. Wetsuits are always compulsory for Outlaw events. You can wear a sleeveless wetsuit, but you must wear one. No Wetsuit, no race. The course is fairly flat with only one short climb at Oxton Bank.
Either a road or a TT bike is suitable. Please check the course information on the website for details of the route and profile.
The run is mostly flat and mostly on tarmac with some hard packed trails. Road shoes will be fine. The main cut offs for each discipline are shown below, there are additional cut off times to meet within the bike and run portions, these will be detailed in the race information. Swim Cut Off — 2 hours to complete, plus 15 minutes to clear transition.
Bike Finish Cut-Off — 10 hours to complete including swim time , with a further 15 minutes to clear transition. Run Finish — 17 hours to complete the race. Unfortunately some people do miss the cut offs and we have to remove them from the race before they finish. You must be ahead of the cut offs at every stage of the race — if you miss one, you will not be allowed to continue on the assumption that you can make up time later in the course.
If you miss a cut off you will not be allowed to continue and you will either need to make your own way back to transition or we will transport you back to the venue if required. The race will start with the first competitors setting off at 6am. You will need to check your race information nearer the time for your individual start time.
Yes, and these have some private areas if you wish to make a full change. All of your race equipment is stored in the tents, not by the side of your bike. After the race, there are changing rooms inside the main building with showers available.
You can carry mobile phone, but it must not be used in any distractive manner during the race. You cannot play music on it. Not reading the race information! Even if you have done this race before, there may be changes to how it is being run this year. Please read your race information fully when you get it so you know how everything will work. This includes knowing when to rack your bike and what you must bring with you to do this.
Not knowing where their stuff is in transition. Make sure to visualise your run out of the water and how to locate your bike, same again for T2. Not arriving early enough. Remember there is a lot to do before a race, there will be queues for toilets and it may be some distance to the swim start. Everyone should develop their own strategy during training, but most competitors have their breakfast around two to three hours before the start, and then drink to ensure they are hydrated.
You may find it helpful to eat something small or take a gel or two mins before your race start. High 5 is our on-course nutrition partner. On the 8 bike feed stations there are ml bottles of water or High5 Energy Drink.
There will also be High5 Energy Gels available on the bike course as well as bananas. Along the run course feed stations there will be 20 feed stations. You will be allocated a swim start time based on the information you provide — the start could either be a time trial format where you start in pairs or mass starts in smaller wave groups, this will be confirmed in your race information.
Please ensure that you arrive to the swim start at your allocated time. You do not have to dive in races where a diving start is allowed — you will be able to jump or slide into the water if you prefer. If you are a nervous swimmer or find that you are being overtaken, you may find it better to position yourself to the side of the main racing line.
