About
Thorpe Park has proved to be a fantastic triathlon venue this season so far, so we're delighted to be hosting another sprint distance event on the 16 September 2018, with a relay option also available. The Zone3 swim is a one-lap 750m course which takes place within Fleet Lake. With good visibility in the water and some great vantage points for spectators, it offers a fantastic opening leg to the triathlon. The bike is a one-lap 21km course for the sprint distance race which heads out of the park onto the surrounding local roads. It is virtually panned flat, so expect some fast times!The 5km run consists of two laps for the sprint distance race navigating around the lake on a flat, fully tarmaced path. The final section to the finish line takes competitors right through the center of Thorpe Park.

Route information
Swim – Provided By Zone – 3
This a fantastic 750m swim that will start on the other side of the wooden footbridge to the transition area. The first wave will be set off at 8:00 am; subsequent waves will go off at 10-minute intervals. The route will take competitors out around the yellow buoys before exiting up the bank.
If you get into difficulty, turn on your back and raise one arm; a safety vessel will then escort you to the bank.
If you appear to be struggling in the swim the safety vessel will be able to help you out.
Wetsuits are compulsory as they provide buoyancy in the water should you encounter any difficulties. You must
wear the swim cap that you were provided with at registration.

The Relay
The relay is ideal for first timers looking for an introduction to Triathlon. A team of 3 consists of one swimmer, one cyclist and one runner with each team member handing over their timing chip (the baton) at the end of each leg. This means you only have to tackle one of the three legs to a triathlon.
Although the Relay format is a fantastic introduction to triathlon, there will also be experienced athletes battling it out for the win. Whether you are taking part for the first time, or a regular athlete looking to participate in this team event our event is sure to be one of the highlights in your 2018 sporting calendar.
