Details as follows:

Where: Blackwater Leisure Centre, Maldon

Entry fees :-
Sprint event £38
Novice event £38
Inclusive of BTF Race Licence.

Distances: There are two distances, namely Sprint and Novice

Sprint Event:

Swim 400m

Bike 23km

Run 6km

Novice Event:

Swim 200m

Bike 12km

Run 3km

The race starts in the 25m indoor pool with a controlled start limiting the number of swimmers in each lane. Start position is based on your declared swim time, with the slowest going first so you will be swimming with people of a similar speed.

The cycle course is 2 laps (1 lap for Novice) on mainly rural roads. This is a largely flat course with three gradual climbs on each lap, along mainly rural roads, passing to the south of Maldon, then south towards Cold Norton before turning back North through the village of Mundon and returning to Maldon.

This is followed by a two lap (1 lap for Novice) traffic free run through the Maldon Promenade Park mainly on paved paths but with a short off-road section on grass.

The pool swim and traffic free run course makes it an ideal race for novices. This is a well-established event with a high demand for places so we are expecting the entry list to fill up quickly. On reaching the entry limit we will keep a waiting list to replace those who have to withdraw.

There is a spacious transition area within the leisure centre grounds, which forms the focus of the race, situated to the rear of the leisure centre. Shower and changing facilities will be available at the leisure centre itself.

This event will be held under the rules of the British Triathlon Federation.
Your bicycle must be in a mechanically safe condition.

There will be trophies for the top three placings male and female in the open sprint event as well as first place male/female in the categories:- Veteran, Novice and Junior.
