The Race

The event is suitable for both complete novices and experienced triathletes. The swim will be in the 33m pool and the spectator-friendly run route is entirely traffic-free through the playing fields and woods behind the leisure centre. We offer a number of different distance for adults and juniors as follows:

• Seniors (15 and above): 400m (12 lengths) swim and 5K run
• Juniors (11-15): 200m (6 lengths) swim and 2400m run (Tristars 2 and 3)
• Juniors (9-10): 100m (3 lengths) swim and 1600m run (Tristars 1)

(15-year-olds can choose either the longer junior format or the adult race)

All swims will follow a “snake swim” format. Swimmers are set off at 15-second intervals, and swim-up one side of the lane and back down the other. They then duck under the lane rope and continue their way across the pool.

The race is a British Triathlon Federation sanctioned event and will be run in accordance with BTF competition rules, you can download a copy of the rule book here: https://www.britishtriathlon.org/britain/documents/events/competition-rules/british-triathlon-competition-rules-2019.pdf
