The TRI Challenge Team Triathlon

Group A starters must gather in Swim Pen at 8.55am. Here they will pick up their swim caps. Group B only moves in after Group A has started the swim. This is when they collect their swim caps and again the same for Group C. Each group will be given different coloured swim caps.

A starters must make sure they have the timing chip on (around their ankle). They start the swim 400m. Once finished they come back and tag B starters who are now in the Swim Pen having collected their swim caps. Remember to hand over the TIMING CHIP.

B now go off for their swim and do the same.

Group A have to move over to the Bike transition and wait in the tag area.

Once Group C have finished the swim they have to run over to the Bike transition area and tag A (remembering to hand over the TIMING CHIP)

A goes off on the bike and completes 3 laps of Dorney Lake. (Helmets MUST be worn)

Once completed they MUST dump their bikes at the BIKE DUMP RACK, and then run over to tag B, and again same for B.

Once they have done this they MUST remove Bike from BIKE DUMP AREA to clear this space for the next group.

You can take the bike back to your car. However please remember your Bike is your responsibility and we can not be responsible for the safe-keeping of this.

Please be careful when crossing the road as bikers will be on the road.

Once Group C finish the bike they dump their bike at the BIKE DUMP Rack and now run over to RUN PEN where Group A will now be. Again they tag A handing over the timing chip.

A now complete one lap of Dorney Lake 5km, coming back to tag B who are now in the pen.

C will complete the last lap and will come back and cross the finish line, completing the race.

Everyone will receive a medal and prizes will be awarded to MALE, FEMALE, and MIXED winning teams.
