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.

FAQs

Will there be toilets at the Blenheim Palace Triathlon?

Yes, there will be toilet facilities in the event village and near the swim start area.

What happens if I lose my chip timing device on the Blenheim Palace Triathlon route?

You will be charged £25 if you lose your chip while it is in your possession.

I have a disability can I still participate in the Blenheim Palace Triathlon?

Please contact the organiser's Customer Team (hello@blenheimtriathlon.com), with a description of your disability. The organiser will assess this and establish if it is possible to compete and what you require to make this feasible.

When should I receive my race pack for the Blenheim Palace Triathlon?

Your race pack will be picked up on the day of the event as you arrive for your race. Team relay captains will be responsible for picking up the team race pack. Race packs will contain your grounds and transition wristband, bib number, safety pins, helmet & bike sticker and at race pack pick up you will also be given your timing chip.

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’.

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.

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.
