Organiser's Description

In addition to the Sprint Triathlon, we are accepting a limited number of Aquabike enries (Swim/Bike)
As per previous years we have kept the entry costs as low as possible and, as such, it will be 'no frills'.
(i.e. no medals, t-shirts, goody bags, catering)
Prizes will be awarded to overall Open and Female winners in the Sprint race.
Aquabike and Age Group prizes may be awarded dependant on the entry uptake.
The race will be Electronically Timed and results will be available shortly after the event.
Gordonstoun school pupils entering the Sprint race must be aged 15-18 on 31 December 2026. Entry to the race is free for these pupils. However, if they are not a Home Nation member they will be directed to purchace a Race Pass at a cost of £2.00 + 4% service fee.

412m Pool Swim (18 lengths of the 25 yard pool)
25 Km Cycle on public roads. (Any type of bike would be suitable)

Aquabike entrants will complete the swim and the bike legs, rack their bike and then cross the finish line.
This event is open to competitors of all abilities.

Could we please ask that you submit a 400m swim time that is as accurate as possible. This will enable us to sort out heats and lanes with swimmers of similar pace. This makes the swim much more enjoyable for everyone. (Times can be revised right up to the event closing date)
