About the event
Our team relays return in April 2027. For next year we are running two relay formats one after the other. At 1.30pm it's the standard relay triathlon. Here a team of three (or two) each take on one or two elements. So typically one person does the swim, another does the bike and a third does the run. For our standard team relay the distances are a 400m swim (16 lengths), a 19.5K bike (13 laps) and a 5K run (2 laps)Then an hour later our Mixed Relay Triathlons start. This fast-paced event, now seen in the Olympics, and the World Triathlon Championships Series is where a mixed team of four (two female and two open participants) all take it in turns to complete a super sprint triathlon before tagging their teammate. For our Mixed Team Relay the distances are a 300m swim (12 lengths), a 7.5K bike (5 laps) and a 1.8K run (1 lap)Both Relay events start in waves of up to 12 swimmers. There are two swimmers to a lane staying on their own side of the lanes to ensure no overtaking needed
