HOW IT WORKS

A relay team can consist of two or three people.

Each member of the relay team completes one or two of the three disciplines in the triathlon. 

The swimmer completes the swim, then the swimmer passes the electronic chip to the cyclist inside the cycle transition area.

The cyclist completes the cycle course and passes the electronic chip to the runner in the transition area.

The runner completes the run and hands in the electronic chip at the finish line.

All team members can cross the finish line together and collect their medals.

Cheshire Triathlon - 2022

I love UK Tri events. Always extremely well organised and inclusive. This one is no exception. An open air brine pool, a flat bike course and a run in a park make it ideal for beginners. Equally the flat bike and run routes make it fast for those looking for a PB. The run route is 1.25k laps in a wide open park so spectators can cheer you to the finish all the way round. Be mindful that the pool is about 500m from the T2 and the finish, so T1 and T2 are in different places. Not to worry, your kit finds its way back to you. Overall a very relaxed introduction to either your first Tri or the new Tri season. Really enjoyed this one.

Cheshire Triathlon - 2022

This was my first triathlon and I was nervous but people on the phone beforehand were very reassuring and helpful. The marshalls on the day were lovely and supportive. A special shout out to the lady at the pool who helped me drag my teeshirt over my head! It was very well organised, overall it was a great day out and very enjoyable experience.

Cheshire Triathlon - 2021

This was the third time I have done this event and I'll be back again for the next one. I love this event as it's just really well organised and the whole setup is for getting people involved in triathlons. Great to see all the family members in the park and nice to see a load of different ages, abilities and states of triathlon addiction all racing together. The split transition makes your brain work on what to put where but if you read the race info then it's all set out. Well done to the team and volunteers.
