Welcome to the 1st Long Course Weekend Yorkshire. We are so excited to bring another edition to the Long Course Weekend Family.

Set in Masham, the Long Course Weekend is expected to bring over 5,000 athletes, 20,000 supporters from 30 nations, to compete over 3 incredible days. Make the weekend your own by mixing and matching the distances that suit you across the 3 events or go long in each distance to get the coveted 4th Medal. Friday kicks off with the Yorkshire Dales swim, giving you the unique opportunity to swim in the beautiful Grimwith Reservoir. Saturday sees a thousand cyclists start from Masham and take on the choice of 56 or 112m bike courses set around the stunning Yorkshire Dales. Rounding up the weekend on Sunday, you have a range of distances from Marathon, Half Marathon, 10k & 5k to take in some of the spectacular surrounding countryside, returning to Masham where the massive crowds await you on the red carpet finish line. ***The Below times are provisional and will be updated nearer the time****
