PRESS RELEASE

Much excitement in the #supbikerun camp as the new website is now live and extra tickets have been added to the 1st event on Sunday 21st Sept in Chichester, West Sussex, including tickets with SUP board hire in partnership with RRD.

WHAT IS #supbikerun?
#supbikerun is a new breed of triathlon. We have totally flipped the traditional format on its head. The swimming has been replaced with SUP (stand up paddle boarding) and both the bike and run are set on off-road tracks and trails.

EVENT #01 OVERVIEW
Our 1st event will be held in a stunning location just outside the historic city of Chichester, West Sussex. We have hired a 40-acre fresh water lake with superb facilities and excellent access. This site not only boasts everything required for a successful SUP event, it has plenty of space for sponsors to exhibit and demo product. Our event commences on a 40-acre freshwater lake where you will take on the 3K SUP (stand up paddle boarding). From the lake, you will make the transition to your mountain bike where you will explore a stunning 30K loop that takes you from the Goodwood Motor Circuit, across the West Dean Estate and then finally up and over Kingley Vale (an ancient yew forest witheg biting hills).

Your event concludes with a gentle 5K-trail run to warm down and complete your adventure. All events are chip timed and each participant will receive a #supbikerun goodie bag at registration which includes products from Vita Coco, Mountain Fuel, Pulsin and a #supbikerun T-shirt. Upon completing the event you will be awarded a #supbikerun finishers medal.

SUP TASTER SESSIONS
New to stand up paddle boarding… not a problem! #supbikerun has partnered with RRD to deliver a series of pre event SUP Taster Sessions. This 3hour session introduces you to the sport, the equipment and the best techniques. All equipment is provided and you will be using the latest RRD Airaceboards (Kialoa paddles and buoyancy aids provided). This is a relaxed and safe environment to learn the sport; our lakes have easy access, rescue boat and trained staff on hand to guide you.
