Outlaw Half Holkham 2027
A lake swim in the grounds of a stately home, flat north Norfolk lanes, and a run through parkland at Holkham Hall. Outlaw's most beautiful race.
46 weeks to race day: base season
Plenty of runway. This far out, the win is a boring, consistent base rhythm: aerobic volume, strength, technique. The structured block starts closer in; what you do now decides how high it can climb.
Building for this one? 70.3 training plan covers the sessions, the weekly shape and how the block is paced. The R.A.C.E. Framework explains why it is built that way.
Build my complete road.
Commit to the date and the work gets a shape: your countdown starts, the emails arrive in step with your build, and the app anchors a recovery-led block so the final week lands exactly on race day.
One confirmation email, then the road begins. Registering for the race itself stays with the organiser.
“The prettiest middle distance in England and organised by the Outlaw team, which is all the recommendation it needs. Flat, but north Norfolk wind is real.”
The race
The course
No course maps for this race. Outlaw publishes no downloadable route for any leg of this race, so there is nothing to draw a course map from. Everything below comes from the official course page, checked on the date at the foot of this section.
A single loop of the private lake in the grounds of Holkham Hall: out to the far end, around the island, and back to a transition set directly in front of the Hall. Time trial start off the pontoons, wetsuits mandatory.
North Norfolk estate roads and lanes. The organiser describes the swim in detail but publishes no description of the bike route at all, so there is nothing here we can state about it.
No route description is published for the run either. Feed stations are stocked at regular intervals on both the bike and the run.
Not yet confirmed for this edition: bike route and lap count, run route and lap count, elevation gain, water temperature, transition detail. We publish these only once they are on the official course page, so check there before you pace off anything here.
Course details verified against the official Outlaw Half Holkham course page on 14 August 2026. Courses change; the official page is always the last word.
