Looks like Bolton 70.3 survives another year in 2026, just had an email saying it’s early July and entries open soon.

Think it’s sold out this year as well.

Edit: could be popular as well with the 70.3 WC in Nice again :thinking:

How much is a 70.3 these days? Horrify me.

Weymouth is north of £400 as someone I coach decided to do Bexhill instead as its too much

Bloody hell, £400 for a half is up there! That was first tier pricing for Wales last time I did it.

I think tier 1 starts just north of £300 without fees.

Challenge are still cheaper by some way but that one in Wales is pretty remote!

About £375 plus “processing” fees, so plus £35

About £410

I paid £330 for Weymouth - possibly tier 1

Just checked this years is currently £413, not a bad guess.

Was that in the first 90 days? (And without the £30 - £35 fees?)

I paid €280 to do Roth 2008 (circa £200 as Sterling was strong in 2007 when I entered).

My last midnightnan was £180 :rofl: iirc St Polten was less than £200 but seemed a lot at the time

StP was certainly under €200 the first couple of times I did it, and Sterling was better back then. But that bike course is worth every penny.

Challenge St Polten is only €259. ‘Bargain’ if you’re a drive away.

Speaking of which a 9hr video of it showed up on my you tubes list today from yesterday’s race, so stuck a few minutes on to see the drone footage of race site. A big football stadium on it now instead of the tennis one we ran through about 6 times!
