The award-winning Outlaw Triathlon will open for 2018 entries next week, and there will be some special entry prizes for those who enter in the first few days. The Outlaw is set for 29 July 2018 at the National Water Sports Centre in Nottingham, UK, covering a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride and 26.2 mile run.
VIP entries open on Wednesday 27 September at 09:00 GMt. This will be available to previous entrants and those who expressed their interest during the early sign up period last month. VIP entry links will be sent out on Monday 25 September. General entries open on Thursday 28 September, also at 09:00 via osbevents.com.
During the entry process, places will be saved for each of the first five days so that all of the prizes below can be claimed. OSB Events adds that ‘There will be more places than prizes saved per day, so you’ll need to get in early if you want to have a shot at getting the prize!’
Entry prizes per day:
- DAY 1, Wednesday 27 September: VIP Opening – first 100 entrants get access at 2017 entry price. All entrants in with a chance of winning one of 100 exclusive 2018 training t-shirts
- DAY 2, Thursday 28 September: General Opening – 20 Outlaw hoodies
- DAY 3, Friday 29 September: 50 blueseventy rucksacks & 30 pairs of blueseventy goggles
- DAY 4, Saturday 30 September: 100 High5 Taster Packs

Additionally, this year a small price reduction is available to those who have entered one of OSB’s Outlaw Half events. The general entry price is £299 for individuals and £349 for relays.
The Outlaw was first launched in 2010 and has gained strong support for its friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Other attractions include a largely flat and fast course (which can be windy!), extensive on-site camping available and ‘a higher percentage of female participants than other long distance events’.
The Outlaw Half Nottingham has already sold out, in almost record time. Places at Outlaw Half Holkham in North Norfolk on 1 July 2018 are currently on sale. A new Outlaw Half event in the South East will be launched next month.
