Race Itinerary & Info.....

Directions & Parking
Follow the A259 Brighton to Eastbourne road through Seaford and follow the signs for “Triathlon Parking” in the town centre. There is allocated parking for the event which is signposted right next to the race venue. There is a £2.00 charge for parking, which the Rotary Club of Seaford is collecting. Money raised from parking will go to local and national charities. Alternatively use any of the pay and display car parks in and around Seaford. There is also a rail service run by Govia between Brighton and Eastbourne, which stops at Seaford. Seaford will be busy so allow plenty of time for parking.

Registration
You do not need to register on the day as your race number and pins have been sent to you in the post. Please refer to these competitor race details for anything you need to know. You collect your official race T-shirt at the finish line after you have finished.

Race numbers must not be mutilated or folded in any way, as this will constitute a 2 minute penalty and may mean no results! Make sure your race number is clearly displayed on your front and is pinned in all four corners.

It is good practice to write your name, blood group and any allergies you may have on the back of your race number in the unfortunate case of an accident!

Please note, for your safety, mobile phones or any type of personal music system is not permitted whilst competing in the event.

Toilets
Public toilets are situated on the seafront.

The Course

The run starts out on Martello Field, alongside the finish line, then up onto the beach esplanade, heading out past Martello Tower to the turn points, then back past Martello Tower for a short, but quite steep climb up to the rear of the golf club. The short climb and descent is on gravel and grass. From there you drop back down into Seaford towards the town centre on footpath before heading back towards the seafront to complete the lap. Please take care on the run course as there may be other pedestrians using the esplanade and public path sections.
When you have completed the required laps you then filter through onto Martello Field and through to the finish line (which is signed and clearly visible). There are two equally spaced feed stations on each lap of the run course and at the finish line serving energy drink, and water.
