The seniors and juniors will compete over sprint distance duathlon (5km run, 20km bike, 2.5km run), battling it out for a share of a £5,000 prize fund as well the first British Elite Championship honours of the season.
The junior race also kick-starts the British Triathlon Junior Super Series. Paraduathletes will compete over the same distance, with all classifications catered for.
Youth duathletes will compete over half the distance of the seniors (2.5km run, 10km bike, 1.25km run), with the race also acting as the season opener of the British Triathlon Youth Super Series. All races will be held over a multi-lap format, making it a great event for spectators.
