Route information
The swim is an open water (and freshwater) swim in the lake. The bike course consists of a gently rolling route circling the estate, while the run is a scenic offering around the Queen's Pool.
The Sprint Team Relay is a great introduction to triathlon. Teams of 3 will have one member complete each element of the event, eg one member swims, one bikes, and one runs. The 'baton' or timing chip is passed between teammates in transition, then all members of the team will meet and cross the finish line together.
Sprint: 750m Swim, 19.8km Bike, 5.4km Run
Sprint Team Relay: 750m Swim, 19.8km Bike, 5.4km Run
Super Sprint: 400m Swim, 13.3km Bike, 2.9km Run
Weekend Warrior: Race as many triathlons back to back as you can over this 2 day festival. In 2020, the Weekend Warrior record was broken by Stephen Mott who completed a staggering 11 back to back Sprint triathlons in one weekend.

Do I need a wetsuit to compete in the Blenheim Palace Triathlon?
Wetsuits are compulsory for this triathlon for the safety of our participants. Your wetsuit will keep you warm and improve your swimming speed; a wetsuit provides you with extra buoyancy and the higher you are the faster you swim. Your wetsuit must be a neoprene and we recommend a full body wetsuit, it can be a ‘shorty’.
ChevronLeft
Can I listen to headphones during the Blenheim Palace Triathlon?
No, personal music devices are not allowed as you will not be able to hear marshals or others around you.
ChevronLeft
Is water available during the Blenheim Palace Triathlon races?
Water will be handed out on the run course and at the finish line. There will be no water stations on the bike course – it is your responsibility to ensure that you have enough fluid to keep yourself hydrated on the bike leg.
ChevronLeft
Does my bike helmet meet safety standards for the Blenheim Palace Triathlon?
Your helmet will pass the safety inspection as long as it has no cracks in it, has no damage to it and bears a CE & EU safety mark inside it. The strap must also be in good working order.

It was my first triathlon, the course was really well maintained with plenty to look at on your way around. The atmosphere was excellent, plenty of people cheering you on, not to mention meeting people around the route. Overall an excellent race and day out.

Woeful organisation - not worthy of 1/5 stars.- No pre-event commncation specific to Weekend Warriors before the event. Particularly annoying as my wife nearly paid the outrageous spectator fee for the weekend before we found out she could come in for free as support crew. In addition, no effort made to reply to emails requesting information.- Marshalls were great but clearly not breifed on the rules for Weekend Warrior (if there were any to start with, they weren't made available. As such, I was told I could complete a Super Sprint before coming back for a final Sprint triathlon on the Saturday. On returning to start my Sprint I was told I could now only complete a Super Sprint. To add insult to injury, the first Super Sprint was not counted as I should have done a Sprint. Glad I found this out after 4 weeks of slow email response from support.As a final point, billing this event as 'completing as many triathlons in a weekend' is a bit rich given the early cut-off on the Saturday and a laughable mid-morning cut-off on the Sunday.Cannot recommend Weekend Warrior in good conscience.

Super fun day out for a first time triathlon competitor. We found it really easy on arrival to get sorted as organisation was perfect. Really fun day out for the family too!

Experience was great. It would be greater if you only gave t-shirts (and medals) to people who have requested them, as it is a waste of resources?

I did the WW for the first time, having done Sprints before. The organisation was generally very good and all staff were encouraging all athletes which was great to see here. Whilst I was very happy with my effort it would have been good to have had a bit more time to have done at least another on the Sunday, time was a bit limited, and for that the fee seemed too excessive. I recognise numbers were lower on the Sunday for all events. Have you tested to see if you charged less would you get more participants, I belong to a TRI Club in Aylesbury and several are turned off Blenheim by the price. Otherwise thanks to all.. a great weekend

Would have been great if race wave times had been shared a lot further in advance. Wouldn’t have needed to book accommodation due to the start time but otherwise was great.
