The format of the event will see each team member / individual competitor swim the required distance leave the pool and go direct to the swim/cycle transition area pick up cycle and helmet. Then cycle the necessary distance return to the cycle / run transition area to deposit the cycle and helmet. Finally run the requisite distance to the run finishing area. Cycles and cycle helmets will be provided. However if schools wish to provide their own they will be responsible for the roadworthiness of the cycle and the safe fitting of cycle helmets (all cycles and helmets will be checked by a bike mechanic on the day of the event).
