Sprint Distance Event Information

Team Relay Option

The Sprint Distance Triathlon will have a Team Relay race where three competitors (all 17 years old or over on 31st December 2012) take one of the disciplines each, tagging each other in transition.

All relay team tags will take place by the team’s bike racking position, inside the transition area. The swimmer will finish their swim, make their way into transition and then run to tag their team cyclist. The cyclist’s bike must stay racked until the swimmer has tagged the cyclist. When the team cyclist finishes, he/she must re-rack their bike before tagging their team runner. All tagging will take place by passing on the RFID Timing Chip to the next team member.

ParaTri Inclusive

Wherever possible this will be an inclusive event for those with special needs.

Upon receiving your entry form we will consider any impact your disability has on the event and advise accordingly.

750m Sea Swim

The swim takes place in the Sea off the coast of Bexhill-on-Sea, with participants entering from the beach and starting the race from within two buoys. Those in the adult wave will complete a single-lap course marked out by buoys, ending back at the beach. Full lifeguard support is provided on the day.

20km Road Cycle

The cycle is completed over 2 laps of a 10km course starting from the transition area and following the coastal roads to the Cooden Beach Resort. Cyclist return along the same route and cycle to the foot of Galley Hill before making a u-turn and returning to the transition area. The cyclists then continue past the De La Warr Pavilion to complete their second lap. This is a flat course that is likely to produce some personal bests.

5km Promenade Run

The run will be a one-lap 5km route along the fast and flat tarmac promenade of Bexhill-on-Sea.

Transition

Transition will be at the iconic De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill-on-Sea. The finish gantry will be on the grassed area above the Colonnade, and immediately in front of the De La Warr Pavilion.
