Triathlon 2024

Spring & Autumn Events

Our triathlon is a sprint length event, starting at 8am or 8:30am (depending on the turn-out) for both the Spring & Autumn events with the swim at Southam Leisure Centre / Southam College – there is plenty of parking in the staff car park but this will be shut off during the race. Another car park can be found to the right and rear of the college which would give you a quicker ‘get-away’. The event will be timed and tracked by Stuweb so expect to see your stats on the TV Screen after you have finished the event.

Registration for the Spring & Autumn events is either the Saturday afternoon or Sunday Morning.

Entry closing dates are 1 week prior to the event date.  

The entry fee is £40.00

The 400m swim is held at the leisure centre pool (no backstroke, no tumble turns and no diving) –  the 20km cycle (19ish!) segment on local roads – the 5k run (5 laps of the circuit) will take place around the College playing fields near the leisure centre.  The event is open to anyone 15 years old or over on 31st December 2023.

NB – Children may be part of a team as long as they take the swim or the run only.16.10 Relay Exchange:
a.) The relay exchange from one team member to another will take place inside the exchange zone, which will be indicated on the day (usually near the pool exit);
b.) The exchange is completed by the in-coming competitor, using their hand to contact the body of the out-going competitor within the exchange zone (kisses, cuddles and hugs also allowed);
c.) If the exchange occurs outside the exchange zone, the team will be made to wear a bunny suit for a month (theoretically);
d.) If the exchange is not completed, the team will be vapourised (in the minds of the other teams who have done it correctly);
e.) Prior to the relay exchange, the competitors will wait in a relay exchange zone and dance the dance of the 7 vails (or wait calmly for your teammate to tag you!);
f.) Competitors must not put their helmet on until they have been tagged by their teammate; only once the competitor has left the exchange zone can the helmet be picked up and secured before the competitor can touch their bike – yes a complete faff but rules is rules you know, failure to comply will result in many intimidating words aired in your direction!;
g.) Competitors must remove their helmet once their bicycle is racked (your adoring fans love to see a bit of ‘helmet hair’); only once the helmet is placed in their numbered area in transition can the competitor enter the exchange zone and tag their teammate.
h.) I might have exaggerated slightly about saving you 20 mins reading this – filling in the form properly will save you 10 by not having to redo it 🙂
