Fresh from a spectacular win at Ironman 70.3 Staffordshire, Gossage will be back at her happy hunting ground in Cheshire to defend her course record in the Gauntlet event (1.9km swim\/96km bike\/21km run). Standing in the way of the cancer doctor-turned-pro-triathlete will be New Zealand\u2019s Sam Warriner, the versatile veteran of countless ITU World Cup wins and a Commonwealth Games medalist, and the Scottish Middle-distance champ Nikki Bartlett.<\/p>\n

Over in the men\u2019s Gauntlet race, Matt Leeman will be on the start line alongside Darren Jenkins, a man who\u2019s racing all five of the Series\u2019 Gauntlet races in 2015 (not forgetting the small matter of racing the long-distance 226km Bastion at Hever Castle in July, of course!).<\/p>\n

The Olympic-distance event is not shy of pro\u2019s either with Liam Lloyd and David Bishop presenting strong competition from the outset.<\/p>\n

ENTRIES STILL OPEN<\/p>\n

While Lucy Gossage and her elite brethren will be aiming for top honors, 1,400 triathletes (including 350 children and a large number of tri newbies) will be attempting to beat their own personal goals during the midsummer\u2019s day across the eight \u2013 yep, eight \u2013 different race distances (see below).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Entries are still open for the event, with highlights including The Cedar (100m\/4km\/1.3km) for 8-10 year olds, the new Starter Sprint (200m\/10km\/2km) for adult beginners to tri and the truly testing experience of the 119km middle-distance Gauntlet.<\/p>\n

First raced in 2010 by 100 athletes, the Cholmondeley Castle course finds athletes launching into an open-water swim in Deer Park Mere Lake, before transitioning into a bike route that circumnavigates Bickerton Hill, the southern most tip of the Peckforton Hills.<\/p>\n

The run passes through the estate grounds, which date back to the 12th Century, before triathletes sprint down the main lawn to the finish line with Cholmondeley Castle as the 200-year-old backdrop. The classic Castles experience awaits athletes post-race, with family activities, tasty grub and live music ensuring both spectators and athletes are entertained throughout.<\/p>\n
