Organised by Sheffield Triathlon Club

Our novice friendly event takes place in the village of Hathersage, in the heart of the beautiful Peak District National Park, and is easily reached from Sheffield, Manchester, Leeds and Nottingham. It’s an interesting and historic village, with links to Robin Hood and the Eyre family and a popular centre for walkers and rock-climbers. Why not hunt out the grave of Little John whilst you are here??  Over the years, this event has introduced many novices to the challenges and rewards of triathlon.

The 420 metre swim takes place in a heated, open-air pool with wide lanes making it enjoyable for swimmers of all abilities. As we will be setting the fastest swimmers off first, you will have the comfort to race you own race, in your own space. You will be asked to supply your estimated swim time when you register.

After the swim it’s on to the 21km bike and, with a name like the Hathersage Hilly, you know it won’t be flat! However, the hills are not so long or steep, and you’ll be rewarded with some stunning views of the Derbyshire countryside.

The 6km run is almost entirely through woodland and open countryside with off road running shoes being an option if it’s wet. Again, the run has a few hills but don’t worry too much – you'll have our team of enthusiastic volunteers encouraging you on, and it’s a long, fast downhill to the finish line!

Did we mention, It's not flat! This year we are excited to introduce, for the first time, our king of the hill sections on both the bike and the run so you will be rewarded for all your efforts. The event will be held under a BTF licence and operated in accordance with the current BTF Event Guidelines. If you would like to join the BTF please read more information here.

Results will be based on chip time. This is a non-draft legal race.

This event is for athletes of all abilities.
