    Outlaw Half Triathlon at Holkham Hall

    Holkham will be hosting the Outlaw Half Holkham for a second year running. The swim, both transitions and the entire run will take place within the grounds of the estate. The swim takes place in the lake with a simple out and back course around a small island. The bike course will be a single loop taking in the coastal road as well as quiet country roads. For those that took part in 2016, there are a few diversions to enhance the competitor experience. The run will be three loops around the estate, passing and finishing in front of the hall, perfect for spectators who do not want to move much!

    There will be plenty of on-site camping organised specifically for competitors and their family and friends and, as camping is only permitted in Holkham twice a year, this is a fantastic opportunity.

    This will be a very high quality racing experience and an escape from everyday life.
