Sprint - 400m swim; 22km cycle; 5k run

The swim is 200m (8 lengths) for the Novice race and 400m (16 lengths) for the Sprint race. You will need to count your own lengths!

The bike route offers a mostly flat course, passing through nearby residential and green spaces, while the run stays within the Littledown grounds, finishing beside the centre’s 6-a-side pitches.

This event is perfect for first-timers looking for a supportive environment, as well as experienced triathletes aiming to set a new PB on a fast, flat course.

Please note: There are no water stations on the bike or run course. We recommend placing a water bottle in your transition area to stay hydrated throughout the race.

Registration

All participants must register at Race HQ, located in the Lookout Terrace. Pre-registration is available the day before the event from 14:00 - 15:30 in Studio 1. Please ensure you bring photo ID to registration as you will need this to collect your race pack.

Race Briefings

Please meet at the Lookout Terrace for any one of the briefing times. You must attend at least one briefing before your wave time or you will not be allowed to take part.

Transition

You should aim to rack your bike straight after you have been to registration and at least 1 hour prior to the start of your race.
You will have a kit check from our race officials when you enter transition. Please have your helmet on and strapped up and your race stickers showing on your bike and helmet.
Bike racking won’t be numbered, so it is entirely up to you where you rack your bike. Please remember to re-rack it in the same place when you enter transition during the race!
Rack your bike using your saddle (our marshals are happy to help), lay all that you need underneath it. You can leave a bag/box in transition with your bike to put everything in but make sure you attach your sticker to it.
Whilst in the transition area you should familiarise yourself with where the Swim In/Bike Out/Bike In/ Run Out entrances and exits are and plan the routes you will take.
