Lighthouse Ultra 180 Triathlon
Lighthouses symbolise safety, guidance and resilience - essential to navigating the challenging course of the coast to coast Lighthouse Ultra 180 Triathlon.
​
Athletes have three days to take on England's highest mountain summit, longest lake and a scenic route across three national parks, an epic 180 mile adventure.
​
The lighthouse signals the start and end, but the journey in-between relies on your physical and mental strength and support team to reach the finish.
​
Do you have what it takes to follow the light and find your limits?
