WhereAre We?
We are based in Englands Smallest county.
The race site is just outside the village of Empingham in between Oakham and Stamford on the A606.
Our course is on one of the most scenic public spaces in the midlands. Rutland Water is an Anglian water reservoir we are lucky enough to have in our County. The course follows the shore line in two out and back sections, taking in iconic landmarks like Normanton Church and Hambleton Peninsula.
