Watch swimmers, cyclists and runners from one of the many fantastic
vantage points — the footbridges that cross the river, the
paths along the river bank or one of the fabulous restaurants in The Old Mill.
It is our goal for everyone to have a fantastic race experience. We will have great prizes and awards and a fantastic post race experience that as always will include food and free beer.
