Event information
This year’s event has been changed to the Go Beyond Relay format of a Team of 3, either males, females or mixed, who each complete the swim, the bike, and the run in relay; all three members of the team must complete each discipline in turn before the team moves on to the next discipline. All changeovers between team members take place in transition, In other words, 3 connected relay races using all three Triathlon disciplines.
The Full course comprises 750m lake swim, 23K bike and 5K run within the confines of the park.
Box End Park offers an excellent opportunity to see the action and support your team members and has ample room for Club gazebos or a supporter’s area. Free parking is provided behind the club gazebo area close to transition.
Our registration team will be on hand between 06:30 and 07:40 on Race Day to get you organised with your team race pack. Race packs must only be collected by the nominated team captain from each individual team To collect the team pack the team captain must collate and copy all BTF licences on to a single sheet of paper to hand in to minimise handling or pay the total sum due for each day licence (£5 per person) in cash with the exact amount for the appropriate number of team members without a BTF licence (or an out of date licence). All team members do not have to present only the team captain.
The event will start at 8am
The Swim course is a single 750 metre loop with separate entry and exit points.
Swimmer 1s are released into the water individually. They must queue in single file along the lake bank in approximate order of estimated swim time, (fastest swimmers first) and move quickly forward into the water when instructed to do so by the swim director. After completing the swim, swimmer 1 exits the water and runs into transition and releases swimmer 2 by handing over the timing chip. Swimmer 2 then securely fastens the timing chip around their wrist before running out of transition and entering the water and so on.
The bike course is a 23K single lap with an internal loop on open roads. It will be a NO DRAFTING course. Bikes will be racked by team. The run course is a 5K single loop within the confines of the park on a grass track path.
Runner 1 and 2 are permitted to wait by the five bar gate when they have completed their run and cross the line with runner 3 provided they don’t impede other runners by doing so.
