Our team relays return in April 2026. 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 will start in waves of up to 12 swimmers. There are two swimmers to a lane staying on their own side of their lanes to ensure no overtaking is required.
