The ways in which swim, bike, run activity and events can operate across England, Scotland and Wales have changed and will remain adapted even as the UK and devolved governments announce their plans to reduce restrictions.
British Triathlon and the Home Nations have been requested, and we firmly believe that it remains our responsibility as governing body of the sport, to continue to issue clear guidance.
On Monday 19 July, England moved to Step 4 of the Government’s ‘Roadmap’, the point at which the majority of legal restrictions are being removed.
To help our sport to continue whilst keeping people safe, our teams work hard to create detailed, robust and clear guidance for all aspects of the triathlon community and will continue to engage with our stakeholders to monitor the effectiveness of it.
The safety of people in our sport, participants, coaches, volunteers, officials and suppliers, remains paramount and we will continue to work closely with relevant authorities in relation to Covid-19 and swim, bike, run activity.
Our guidance is segmented into aspects that are mandatory (‘must do’), recommended (‘should do’), and optional if suitable to do so (‘could do’). These allows participants, clubs, coaches and event organisers to take a pragmatic and measured approach.
Below, you will find our guidance for Individual Training, Clubs and Coaches and Event Participants in England. If you click through to each section you will find a summary of the guidance and a link to the full document.
Information on events and club and training activity in Scotland can be found on the Triathlon Scotland website here.
Information on events and club and training activity in Wales can be found on the Welsh Triathlon website here.
Remember, all participants and club members are advised to join their Home Nation membership to make sure they are protected by our insurance policy and benefit from the other features of membership to be supported, connected and protected in their swim, bike, run journey.
