Outlaw Holkham Gravel Sprint takes place at the historic Holkham Estate as part of the Outlaw Half Holkham Weekend on 3 July 2027. Participants can take part as an individual or join with friends in a 2 or 3 person Relay.
The event features a 750m lake swim, a 20km off-road bike leg through estate trails, and a 5km run finishing down the iconic orange carpet in front of cheering supporters and live commentary.
Participant Entitlements Include:
The event features a 750m open water swim in the private lake at Holkham Estate, a 20km undulating off-road bike leg on estate trails, farm, and gravel roads (suitable for gravel, cyclocross, mountain, or sturdy hybrid bikes), and a 5km run primarily on grass trails and footpaths finishing on the orange carpet.
The 750m open water swim distance takes place in the private lake at Holkham Estate, set against the backdrop of Holkham Hall. Swimmers are fully supported throughout by a qualified swim safety team.
The 20km off-road bike route takes place on trails, farm, and gravel roads within the Estate. While not technical, an undulating terrain requires practice riding on grass and gravel. Gravel, cyclocross, mountain, or sturdy hybrid bikes are recommended.
The 5km run is primarily on grass trails and footpaths close to the main event area, finishing with a sprint down the orange carpet. Light trail shoes or road shoes with good grip are recommended.
