FAQs
Are there age restrictions for race entry?
Yes you must be 14 years old by the day of the race
Are there official photographers?
Yes, Finisherpix will be on site to take athlete photos.
Do I have to wear a wetsuit?
Yes, this is mandatory for all of our events and must cover the torso & thighs. It must NOT cover the hands and feet. British Triathlon Federation rules state that the wetsuit must not be thicker than 5mm in any position (including where a patch-repair has been made). Non-triathlon wetsuits are not designed to be flexible around the shoulders and arms and will take on extra water so it is recommended you race in a triathlon wetsuit.
Can I wear my own swim hat?
If you wish to wear two swim hats that is fine but the issued swim hat MUST be worn on top.
What stroke can I use?
Although BTF rules have now allowed backstroke we will not allow you to do this stroke. Front facing strokes only.
How is the start organised?
The swim start is in waves. You will be allocated your wave when you receive your race pack. You must start in your correct wave.
How early should I be at the swim start?
You should be at the swim start at least 15 minutes before the race to hear the briefing and find a suitable position.
Do I need a specific bike?
You can use any bike that is road worthy and complies with the BTF rules. However you must not use electric bikes or tandems. We recommend using a road bike.
Will my bike be safe in transition?
Your bike will be safe in transition. You must show the security staff your bike with sticker, helmet with sticker and matching race number before entering or leaving with a bike.
Can I wear headphones?
No, we discourage anyone wearing headphones during the race.
Are there any drink/feed stations on the course?
There are no drink/feed stations on course as this event is a short distance. There will be water at the finish line.
