3 MORE BUCKETLIST RACES

IRONMAN LANZAROTE

Often billed as the toughest race on the circuit, Ironman Lanzarote is hot, hilly and windy. There’s a huge amount of climbing and the ever-challenging conditions means a finish at Lanza is worth double bragging points. ironman.com

OUTLAW HALF TRIATHLON

The ‘original’ Outlaw Half at the National Watersports Centre in Nottingham sells out in minutes. That’s the sign of a great race. Fantastically well-organised and support unlike any other UK race, it’s worth the entry for the finish-chute experience alone. outlawtriathlon.com

ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ

Swim (2.4km) across a shark-infested bay from an inescapable island, ride (29km) the insanely steep hills of San Francisco and run (13km) along the beach and up the quad-destroying sand steps in the shadow of the Golden Gate Bridge. Sound good?! This is the ultimate destination race. escapealcatraz tri.com
