The Run as highlighted below in yellow starts from the transition area outside the swimming pool where a marshal will direct you onto the service bridge, keep to the left and continue across the bridge and turn left onto Victoria place at the end of the bridge.  Keeping to left hand side continue running until you reach the main bridge on Bridge Street, still keeping to the left hand side continue across the bridge.  Turn left at the end of the bridge, do not cross the road as you may endanger yourself and any cyclists.  Follow the path down to the swimming pool and complete 3 laps of this course to finish; there will be a finish banner at the end of the course.

The cycle route is the same as the sprint route below/above except that there will be a marshal to direct your turn just past the corner at Haster, you will change over at the swimming pool transition area.

The August Sprint consists of a 750m pool swim (30 lengths x 25m).  The transition area is highlighted below in orange.  There you will change where the bikes are racked and then proceed on foot to the first set of cones. There you will mount your bike and  cycle towards the roundabout starting the 20km cycle.  There will usually be a Police Marshal to stop oncoming traffic to allow you to proceed across the roundabout (please obey the police if they require you to stop).

The course continues towards the railway station/police station with the Caithness General Hospital on the left hand side.  Take a right at the next junction, which will also be marshalled.  Continue out of the town past Milton and Haster then on to Bilbster. A  marshal will be clearly visible to direct your turning point.  Proceed back to Wick following the same outward route back to the swimming pool and make the transition to the run there.  Part of the transition process is to rack your bike without assistance.






The 5km run route is highlighted in yellow and consists of three 1 mile laps.  Please follow yellow marked route keeping to the left hand side of the road at all times to avoid possible collision with cyclists.  There will be marshals at each corner/junction to direct you. The finish, outside the swimming pool, is indicated by a banner at the far end of the transition area.
