Pro tips

  1. 01

    Two-Lap Rhythm

    The course is two laps, so use the early lap to learn turns and gentle inclines, then settle into steady pacing on the repeat.

  2. 02

    Gentle Rises, Even Effort

    The course is mostly flat but has a few gentle inclines and 70 m of total climb; keep effort even instead of surging.

    Cold Start

    Typical race-day temperature is 4.8C, so expect a chilly wait and early miles; dress for cold before you warm up.

    Crowds Both Laps

    Large crowds gather in the city center and along the River Avon; use their support and expect busier sections there.
