Cutra Castle Triathlon\nThis first race of the season sets the scene for a competitive and fun series\, hosted within the beautiful grounds and surrounding area of stunning South Galway. What’s more\, the race coincides with a Bank Holiday in the UK and it is also the first weekend of the UK school half term\, making it an ideal break for sporty families. \nAll of the races at Lough Cutra Castle kick-off by launching into an open-water swim in the lake\, transitioning into a bike route which circumnavigates Lough Cutra itself. The half iron gauntlet cycle takes in the beautiful Burren national park. The event offers not only a chance to race but a festival atmosphere with live music\, dancing\, children’s entertainment\, retailers and food. \nAbout Lough Cutra Castle\nThe countryside surrounding Lough Cutra Castle contains evidence of a history dating back to the Irish-Celtic mythology of the Tuatha Dé Danaan. \nOld churches\, cells and monasteries are prolific in the area\, with some of the islands on the lake containing the remnants of stone altars. \nThe history of the actual estate can be traced back as far as 866 A.D. when the ruined church of Beagh was sacked by the Danes and war raged through the district for nearly 1\,000 years. \nThe Castle itself was built during the Gothic revival period and is idyllically situated overlooking the Estate’s 1\,000 acre lake (the largest privately owned lake in Europe)\, home to the open-water swim of the Lough Cutra Castle Triathlon.

This tiny Himalayan kingdom nestling between Tibet and India is a country of raw natural beauty and dramatic landscapes that range from sub-tropical plains to steep mountains and valleys. \nRegularly voted one of the world’s top travel destinations\, Bhutan still remains accessible only to the privileged few. The Thunder Dragon Marathon is your chance to see the country at ground level\, to immerse yourself in its unique culture and enjoy an unforgettable running and travel experience. \nDistance\nThe Thunder Dragon Marathon features a Full Marathon – 42.195km / 26.2m and a Half Marathon – 21.1km / 13.1m \nRoute\nFrom the start at Zhiwa Ling\, the first few kilometres are downhill on the road before crossing a metal bridge swing bridge festooned in prayer flags. It then follows the Paro Chu River downstream the tributary of the Wang Chu\, where runners are at 2200m altitude. \nThe route is undulating along the Wang Chu tributary – climbing gradually above the latticework of rice paddies up stream on one side of the river before crossing a bridge and returning down the other side on a gentle descent. \nArriving back on the road near Paro the half marathon is reached and the runners in the 21.1km will stop – spectators will be brought to the half marathon point to see the finish then both spectators and half marathon runners will return by bus to the start area at Zhiwa Ling to see the full marathon runners finish. \nThe Marathon will then climb steadily for 4km up the side of a valley passing above Paro Dzong then up to Zueray Dzong\, the highest point of the race (2530m). \nFrom here you start to drop to the valley passing by the luxury Uma Resort (2413m).\nDropping sharply back to the river\, the route crosses the ornate Paro Bridge in front of Paro Dzong. From here the route passes to the South of the town before rising up on the road for 3km to 2\,400m\, followed by a short climb on a wide track before picking up forest trails along a line of Chortens festooned with prayer flags. \nA short but steep climb at 30km on road takes you onto forest trail around a valley spur before dropping back to the valley. The final 10km are along an undulating dirt road through villages before dropping steeply on road with incredible views of the Tigers Nest as you approach the finish line back at Zhiwa Ling. \nThe first half of the race is easier than the second half with long sections of flat to undulating running on the road and gravel trails of the river banks. This makes the 21km suitable for all runners and run/walkers regardless of pace as there is no cut off time. \nStart/Finish\nThe Marathon and Half Marathon start at the 5 Star Zhiwa Ling Hotel in Paro. At the start\, the races are blessed by the local Monks to bring good luck and a safe race. \nAt the 21.1km of the Marathon course\, the Half Marathon finishes along the Wang Chu Tributary. Spectators and Half Marathon Runners will be transported back to the start area at Zhiwa Ling. \nThe Marathon finishes back at Zhiwa Ling. \nAll Runners will recieve a medal after crossing the finish line and refreshments will be available. \nStations\nThere will be water stations at approximately every 4km along the routes. Water will be served in bottles. Some stations will also server energy drinks and bananas. Gels will be available at the 30km point. \nTiming\nFinal details about the timing will be announced in your participant guide. The Thunder Dragon Marathon and Half Marathon will be manually timed. \nThe cut off time for the Marathon is 8 hours but has some flexibility depending upon the weather conditions. There is no cut off time for the Half Marathon. All Runners who do not achieve the cut off will be picked up and driven to the finish line. \nRoute Logistics\nKilometre signs are places every 5km along the route. Directional signs are placed frequently and tape is used to clearly direct Runners along any unmarked paths. \nAn extensive team of local Bhutanese Marshalls will be at key points along the course to give directions and ensure your safety. \nPlease note that some sections of the Marathon and Half Marathon Routes are run on roads which are not closed to traffic. Although traffic is not heavy\, take care and look out for vehicles.

It provides a unique opportunity to swim one of the most famous and beautiful stretches of open water in the world\, at what we believe is the most beautiful time of the day\, dawn. A key feature of the event is that you arrive in darkness and walk the 1/4 of a mile to the start into the sunrise\, led by the torch carrier. \nHenley Classic Wave Options\nThe Henley Classic swim has several wave options to choose from. \nSwimming on the Henley Regatta course is a privilege and we are very grateful for the support we receive. In return we have to be clear of the river by 0630 so it is important that you select the correct wave based on your anticipated swim time. \nPlease remember that it is an upstream swim so be realistic with your time and err on the side of caution – we really don’t want to stop anyone before they complete the course. \n0430 WAVE 1 (Sporting & Juniors) \nSelect this wave if you: \nwish to swim at leisure or alongside friends OR\nyou are a junior swimmer (age 14-17) or are accompanying a junior swimmer(s) \n0450 WAVE 2 \nSelect this wave if you comfortably average between 2 mins and 2 mins 30 secs per 100m during a distance swim. \n0510 WAVE 3 \nSelect this wave if you comfortably average between 1 min 45 secs and 2 mins per 100m during a distance swim. \n0530 WAVE 4 (Performance) \nSelect this wave if you wish to race hard (likely to be in the top 100 swimmers) and you comfortably average under 1 min 45 secs per 100m during a distance swim. \nWave times are provisional and may be subject to change \nTeams – There is one team competition. A team can be made up of any combination of male or female swimmers (but not elite) and any number. The four fastest times will qualify for the competition. Create or join a team during the entry process. \nEvent Location\nThe Henley Classic is hosted at Temple Island Meadows\, which is just ¾ mile from Henley town centre. Parking is available at the event venue. \nSwim Course\nThe course is a unique\, straight line\, point-to point-swim (ie no turns) and takes advantage of the boomed course of the Henley Royal Regatta. The swim is upstream\, the strength of the stream varies from year-to-year\, ensuring that no two events are the same. \nVenue Facilities\nParking is available at the venue\nToilets and changing facilities will be provided\nHot & cold drinks & snacks will be available at the main event area \nCamping\nCamping is available in Glebe campsite\, with on-site facilities including toilets and showers. This is just a short walk to the main event area and is ¾ mile from Henley town centre. Details and prices to follow. \nHenley Classic Saturday Supper\nThere will be a supper available for campers and anyone staying locally. Details and prices to follow. \nSaturday Evening Registrations\nThe venue will be open on Saturday afternoon from 2pm. Anyone who would like to register for the event early\, to save time on the Sunday morning can register between 4pm and 6pm on the Saturday.\n\nWater Temperature\nThe water temperature at the Classic depends upon both the outside temperature and the quantity of rainfall in the days and weeks running up to the event. It is therefore very difficult to predict. \nBased on previous years\, at the beginning of July\, we would expect the water to be between 17 and 19 degrees centigrade. \nEntry Fee: Juniors (14-17) £39 / Adults (18+ on race day) £49 URL:https://raceconnections.com/event/henley-classic-swim/ LOCATION:Henley Royal Regatta\, Bridge Hart St\, Henley-on-Thames\, London\, RG9 2LY\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Swimming ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://raceconnections.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/The-Henley-Classic-Swim-Events-Race-Connections-.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Henley Swim":MAILTO:Enquiries@henleyswim.com GEO:51.5374288;-0.9009325 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Henley Royal Regatta Bridge Hart St Henley-on-Thames London RG9 2LY United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Bridge Hart St\, Henley-on-Thames:geo:-0.9009325,51.5374288 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20180701 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20180702 DTSTAMP:20260403T231651 CREATED:20180522T043159Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180522T043159Z UID:10004714-1530403200-1530489599@raceconnections.com SUMMARY:Econet Victoria Falls Marathon 2018 DESCRIPTION:Marathon Events in Zimbabwe\nDeveloped in conjunction with the National Athletics Association of Zimbabwe\, the Victoria Falls Marathon is an AIMS (Association of International Marathon and Distance Races) registered event. \nThe marathon provides a platform for both local and international runners to pit themselves against the best!

Unique. Spectacular. Alpine. Be part of it! \nT127 – 127KM\nPrecisely at the bewitching hour of midnight and with a full moon\, the start of this route takes place. The «Engadine by Night» cannot be better experienced than on the first phase over the Alp Muntatsch and Piz Nair (with an altitude of 3022 metres being the roof of the T127). In quick succession\, you will come across more scenic highlights. The ultimate adventure that every ultratrailer has to experience once in a lifetime. \nT39-39.1KM\nThis unique night trail offers a very special experience in the Swiss Alps. The Start occurs shortly before nightfall\, and is exceptional for those who love running at night. There is also plenty of time during the race to appreciate the spectacular dawn on the Sunday. \nT88-88.1KM\nThe successor of the legendary K78 is now being launched as a trail in glamorous and world-famous St. Moritz. The journey on the Rhaetian Railway from Davos to St. Moritz on the most attractive railway line in Graubünden is part of the new adventure and will get you in the mood for the T88. \nK23-23.8KM\nThis is the secret tip in the Swiss alpine Irontrail programme. It follows the former track of the Walser folk through Monbiel\, the furthest village of the Walsers in the valley of Prättigau. Subsequently\, it leads through a wildly romantic gorge\, over the Wolfgang Pass\, and finally passes the delightful Lake of Davos. This is an event for those who know how to enjoy themselves. \nK10-9.5KM\nIn response to many requests\, the former K10 has once again been included in the programme. This route is especially suitable to connoisseurs of running and those accompanying them. The shared Finish with the world class runners gives everyone the feeling of a special kind happiness. \nK43-42.9KM\nThis extremely popular mountain marathon is a classic. It leads through the charming valleys Dischma and Sertig\, and continues along the former mule track over the Scaletta Pass. In response to many requests\, it again follows the panoramic trail. Over the Sertig Pass and passed the lovely Sertig Dörfli it leads back to Davos. \nH21-21.4KM\nAlready in its third year of existence\, this diversified circular route has become firmly ensconced in the hiking and trail scene. The attraction of the route is special for enjoyment runners\, and those seeking hiking adventures. \nH20-20.3KM\nLocated in the middle of idyllic mountain landscapes\, this route is ideal for the newcomers to trail running. The track from Arosa to Davos promises wonderful natural experiences\, and is suitable for both those with ambition\, as well as for fun runners and hikers. \nKids-0.5\,0.9\,1.4KM\nFor the greatest Running Queens or Running Kings.\nIn the Kids’ Runs over 0.5km\, 0.9km or 1.4km nobody is too small not to become a Running Queen or a Running King. \nRequirements on participants\nAll competitions\nThe competitions take place in alpine\, in some cases high alpine terrain. This requires participants to adapt accordingly with regard to carefulness\, equipment and race strategy. \nParticipants take full responsibility for their participation in the race. This means participants are responsible for their state of health\, training\, fitness and equipment. It is expected of all participants that they:\na) are dressed suitably and in accordance with the weather conditions and their individual requirements and pro-tect themselves against rain\, cold and sun;\nb) retire from the race as soon as it threatens to become a health risk for them;\nc) behave in an environmentally compatible way and do not leave any refuse in the countryside;\nd) provide first aid help to other participants if these have an accident or suffer health problems. \nThe following minimum age levels apply\n• T127 / T88: from 18 years of age\n• Other competitions: from 14 years of age\n• KIDS: from 4 years of age \nAn acclimatisation period of ideally 5 days at an altitude above 1500 m a.s.l. is highly recommended before starting in one of the long-distance competitions. \nInfective illnesses suffered before the race (tonsillitis\, influenza\, etc.) can have a significant negative effect on the physical performance and may signify a serious danger to a runner‘s health (e.g. heart muscle damage). Anyone suffering from this kind of illness 6 – 8 weeks before the race should consult a doctor. Participants older than 35 years of age who are competing for the first time in a long-distance race are strongly recommended to undergo a complete health check by a doctor. \nT43 / T39 / K43\nThese categories represent several hours‘ endurance performance at altitudes of up to 2750 m a.s.l. and place special demands on the participants‘ performance capabilities. Adaptability\, autonomy and self-sufficiency in a mountain environment are also required. \nT127 / T88\nThese are long\, high alpine trails. They have an adventure-character where participants consciously take major risks. Some ascent and descents are very steep and require surefootedness as well as alpine experience. \nTo complete these trails\, good fitness and training are absolutely necessary. Also required are a good sense of orientation\, excellent adaptability and self-sufficiency in a mountain environment. \nParticipants are alone and run independently for long distances. Self-sufficiency is understood to be the capability of surviving alone on the route in all weather conditions\, making independent decisions (including retiring from the race)\, to be able to ensure a personal supply of food and drink and be able to provide first aid measures using an emergency firstaid kit. \nOrganiser services\nInfrastructure\nThe organiser provides the following infrastructure for participants:\n• Marked race course\n• Food and drink (during the race and at the finish)\n• Medical services\n• Transport and delivery of running kit to the finish area\n• Information about weather during the race\n• Timekeeping at intermediate posts and at the finish\n• Live tracking (for T127 / T88) \nFood + drink\nThe intermediate and finish refreshments are provided at the following distances:\nT127 / T88: Ø 17 km (15 – 20 km)\nT43 / T29 / H16 / T39 / H21 / H20: Ø 8 km (5 – 15 km)\nK43 / K23 / K10: Ø 5 km (4 – 6 km) \nBefore the event\, a plan showing the location of the refreshment stations and the food / drink provided there will be published in internet. The stations are also marked on the route map. The organisers reserve the right to modify the refreshment plan at any time and without notice. \nParticipants are responsible for ensuring that they have sufficient food and drink with them at all times. \nMedical services\nAccording to the character of the race or trail\, the time taken and the distance covered\, the medical services are limited to coaching of participants\, initial treatment in the case of an emergency and notification of civil emergency rescue services. The medical personnel have the right to remove participants from the race definitely or for a limited period if the danger exists of said participant sustaining damage to their health if they continue. In the case of emergencies or retirement from the race on doctor‘s orders\, the costs of rescue\, care and evacuation by medical or rescue services are at the expense of the participant. \nEquipment\nWeather conditions can change very quickly in the mountains. Snowfall and a drop in temperature to below freezing is possible at any time at altitudes higher than 2000 a.s.l. Efficient protection against sun\, cold and rain is absolutely necessary for all competitions. \nThe following basic equipment is compulsory for T127 / T88:\n• Cell phone (always switched on and with direct dial emergency number)\n• Rain jacket\n• Bottle/bag\n• Headlamp with spare batteries\n• Emergency thermal (space) blanket (minimum 1.40m x 2m)\n• Elastic bandage for emergency dressings (min. 200cm x 4cm)\n• Emergency whistle \nThe organisers have the right to control the compulsory basic equipment at any time.

The organisers reserve the right\, at short notice and without any reimbursement of starting fees to:\na) make changes to the race route;\nb) to interrupt the race and restart it;\nc) to stop the race or to cancel it before the start. \nRoute data\nThe official route data (length\, altitude difference) is determined in cooperation with “Outdooractive”. Data measured with GPS may deviate significantly from this depending on device\, weather conditions and quality of measurement. \nKnowledge of the route / time limits and traffic control\nAn in-depth study of the route is absolutely necessary\, in particular for T127 / T88. Participants must be able to follow the race route using a map. This is very important above all\, when the route markers are missing or moved by weather conditions (wind) or third persons. \nFor safety reasons participants are not allowed to leave the race route. The route will be closed according to the time schedule given (departure from a post). Participants who arrive too late will be removed from the race by the person responsible.

After approximately 3km you will cross the Lassiter Highway and turn north-west for another 3km. Look out for stunning views of Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) on your left. \nThe course then turns in a north-easterly direction for another 2km and the ground changes once again from a desert track back to an unsealed but graded road. After approximately 8km you hit one of the few sealed roads on the course\, Mala Road\, which takes you through the village of Yulara on your way to more off-road trails. After crossing both Giles Road and Coote Road\, a brief turn due North takes you back onto the red earth as you head up towards Connellan Airport. \nYou start to head back towards the start/finish area after approximately 12km. There are a few small dunes to navigate here with some spectacular views of Uluru awaiting you over almost every tiny bump in the road. \nThe 15km mark sees you cross a different sectiuon of the Lassiter Highway and another short stretch of sealed road awaits you before you head off once again into the bush. After approximately 18.5km you will take a left turn where a 5km stretch of pure Australian Outback awaits you\, and there are once again some truly amazing views to be had here. Look out for the view at the top of Jem’s Dune which is almost exactly half-way. \nAt around 22.5km you take a right followed by a left (approx. 200m) and you start the trip home. Utilising some of the tracks near the resort\, you take a long\, meandering loop over a small dune and continue on until you hit the track at the 26km mark. This marks the way back to the finish and you are now 3/5ths of the way back. \nAfter once again crossing the Lassiter Highway you will get to see some fantastic views of Kata Tjuta\, especially in the 30km-32km stretch. Back through Yulara village at around 32.5km sees you once again on Mala Road\, the only sealed section of the course\, with the red earth once again waiting to welcome you at around 36km. Here you will also get to see the twin sights of Kata Tjuta on your left and Uluru on your right. \nFrom here it is plain sailing all the way to the finish line\, with yet more breath-taking views to inspire you over the last few kilometres. \nThe entire course is relatively flat from a topographical point of view but there are a few little inclines here and there. A couple of short sand dunes also make an appearance and whilst they are not long or high they will certainly feel like a challenge when running up them. The views at the top will certainly make the effort worthwhile. \nUnderfoot can get a little soft in places but this is “the red earth” after all!
