Entries for the 2018 Sandman Triathlon, which takes place in North Wales, are now open. The triathlon, which is organised by North Wales event specialists Always Aim High, will take place on Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd September 2018.
As ever, the Sandman weekend will be made up of Sprint, Classic, the weekend-long Savage (a combination of the Sprint & Classic), and the Sandman Legend 72.4 middle distance race, which was first introduced in 2017.
Joining the triathlon races will be the Sandman Sprint Duathlon (again introduced for the first time in 2017) and the Sandman Junior Triathlon.
According to Always Aim High, athletes at the 2017 Sandman Triathlon called the race ‘the perfect UK triathlon season closer’ and ‘possibly the most beautiful coastal triathlon in the country’. The event takes in views of Snowdonia, the Llyn Peninsula and the shorelines of Anglesey.
Taking place around a transition area and event village in Newborough Forest, the Sandman features a swim off the blue flag beaches at Llanddwyn – followed by a cycle along the country roads of Southern Anglesey. The race concludes with a trail run though Newborough forest, before exiting out onto the beach for a sprint finish through the dunes.
An early bird discount is in place for the first 100 entries. Over 1,400 competitors are expected to take part across the Duathlon, Sprint, Classic, Savage and Legend 72.4 triathlon distances.
