Marlow Classic Middle Distance - Swim/Bike

The Marlow Classic Middle Distance is the only long distance event in the Thames Valley. A fairly flat scenic course taking in the views of Marlow and the surrounding areas.

The event is set to attract over 700 participants, as the world of endurance sports and triathlon creates massive demand for longer distance events over the shorter distances that have originally formed this great sport.

1.9KM SWIM/ 85.6KM BIKE

The swim is a 1900 metre one lap course in the River Thames and is designed to make even the weakest swimmer get a fast swim split.

The Bike course is 85.6km with a very popular 3 Lap course on the far end of the route.

Refunds

At F3 Events we want to allow all participants the opportunity to still take part in an event in the future if they are not able to attend the initial chosen event for some reason or another.

All these amendments incur an internal cost to the events business, and the reason for applying the transfer/ deferral fee.  We are one of only a hand full of companies that allow this to take place and would rather participants have an opportunity, up until a point when we are not able to make any changes, to make a future event possible.
