Event information
A pool swim in a triathlon is great if swimming is not your strongest discipline, the enclosed environment away from the elements is reassuring and lets you focus your energy on swimming. Similarly, it’s easier to navigate than open water, reducing the likelihood of you swimming more than the necessary distance!
The Driffield Sprint Triathlon is known as one of the fastest-sprint distance triathlon courses in the area.

An undulating 20km road bike course around the roads of Driffield, with gradual climbs and gentle descents.
Although a road bike is recommended, the course makes the ride suitable for almost any bike. Of course, you will likely complete the ride in a faster time if you use a road bike and are used to riding one; however, you will be able to complete the race on anything with two wheels. Make sure it’s is in good working order and roadworthy. Marshalls will be looking over bikes in the racking area.
