Bayside Sea Swim Triathlon - 13th June 2026
Bayside Tri Club stages a sea swim triathlon at Stokes Bay Sailing Club in Gosport. The event combines a short sea swim, a mid-length bike leg along seafront and country roads, and a flat run that finishes at the sailing club.
Race Format and Distances:
- 400 m sea swim in The Solent, straight line parallel to shore.
- 25 km bike on a mix of quiet country roads and seafront sections.
- 5 km flat run along Stokes Bay promenade and adjacent paths.
The swim is a straight 400m in shallow water with a gentle beach entry and exit and a short run over shingle to transition. Starts are graded by speed, and shore and waterborne support are provided. Wetsuits are compulsory for all competitors.
The bike route starts and finishes at the sailing club, follows Stokes Bay seafront, passes Lee on the Solent and Titchfield areas, and returns to transition. The run follows the promenade east, includes a short meadow loop near the lifeboat station, and returns to the finish.
All finishers receive a medal, a bacon roll and a hot drink. Vegetarian and gluten free options are available. Trophies are awarded to the first three in each category.
