The 7 iron distance triathlons over 7 days will start at Lands End and finish at John O’Groats. As each day’s event will be approximately 140.6 miles I will be starting day two approximately 140.6 miles away from where I started on day one and so on.
In total the distance will be approximately 980 miles.
Here are the basics of the 7 stages. I will break them down into the individual parts in due course:
Day 1 Lands End – Barnstaple (Sea Swim)
Day 2 Barnstaple – Cheltenham (River Swim)
Day 3 Cheltenham – Rotherham (Lido Swim)
Day 4 Rotherham – Tynemouth (Pool Swim)
Day 5 Tynemouth – Dunfermline (Sea Swim – Home Venue)
Day 6 Dunfermline – Moy (Swim Venue TBC)
Day 7 Moy – John O’Groats (Loch Swim)

The A30 is a 70 mph dual carrageway, and though people do cycle on it I wouldn’t it is so dangerous. I definitely wouldn’t run on it. There are lots of other route options.
I had it on fairly good authority that it was ok? I wouldn’t be alone in that I would be with a support vehicle and another cyclist. I take your point about running it though. Will look again at this route. Thanks for your help.
If you come through the midlands ill happily help with route info or run along side you.
