Organiser's Description

Join up with your friends and/or clubmates to take part in the exciting Team Relays at Box End! 

New for 2026, we will have three team categories. There will be the Olympic mixed team format of 4, (2 x Female + 2 x Open category)

A female team category (4 x females)

An open team category (any mix of four)

Each athlete will complete their own short triathlon before handing over to the next athlete.

We will require the team captains details at the time of booking. All other team members will be required to sumbit their details via a Google form, on the day of the event.

The race begins with a deep-water start, a 350m lap in the crystal-blue waters of the wakeboarding lake. Next up is a fast 7.7km non-drafting bike leg that circumnavigates the venue and then finishes off with a 1km out and back flat run along the side of the lake in full view of the transition area before handing over to the next athlete who will start by running in to the water.

If you would like to take part but do not have a team to enter, we are pleased to be able to offer you a single entry ticket into this event. You will then be assigned in to a team on the day of the event. 

Team entries will be made by the team captain with details of team mates being able to be added later if they are unknown at the time of booking, and a final team declaration at registration on the day. All team mates will need to provide their date-of-birth and Home Nation membership details.

This event is open to everyone, regardless of ability. Teams can participate made up of non-club members and/or members of different clubs, so feel free to team up with family, friends, training partners, or house mates.

Transgender athletes are, and will continue to be, very welcome at recreational and competitive activity in Triathlon. The Female category is defined as athletes who are the female sex at birth and the Open category all other athletes.

As the bike leg is held on public roads, the minimum athlete age is 16 on race day.

The relay will begin at 6:30pm on Saturday evening. 
After the racing has finished, there will be live entertainment, a bar and food available on site.

On the Sunday morning, Box End will play host to a 100k Centurion Triathlon and a Sprint/Standard distance Tri. With camping available on site, this will make an ideal weekend away. For more information and to book your camping tickets, email: [email protected]
