All UK Triathlon 2020 events whether swimming pool or open water swims

Social Distancing
Can we please remind you it is each and every person's responsibility to social distance, wherever they are in this country. The same will apply at ALL UK Triathlon events.

Start Format
Instead of mass starts throughout the day for open water events, each competitor will start at 30 second intervals, giving everyone their own individual start time and space. We run this format in all our pool based triathlons and it works perfectly. Pool based events will also probably have slightly longer start intervals than usual, most likely 30 seconds between competitors.
Spectators
We will ask you not to unnecessarily bring spectators to the events to help make social distancing easier for everyone.
Car Parking
Manned car parking will be managed in such a way that vehicles can be parked alternately, leaving a car parking space either side of vehicles as they unload bike/s. Once an entire row is parked and those people have moved away from their vehicles, the remaining spaces will be used to maintain good social distancing and reduce the probability of people exiting their vehicles at the same time.
Registration
Only one competitor will be allowed to register at a time. The queue for registration will be separated by ground stakes to assure a minimum of 2 metre separation. We will provide a sanitising hand station which you must use before entering registration.
Transition (in & out)
Competitors will be sent to consecutive numbered cycle racks so to avoid racking cycles next to each other. There will be a 10 minute time limit for racking your cycle and the same for retrieving your cycle after the event.
Race Brief
Race brief will be available to watch online at www.uktriathlon.co.uk.
There will also be a rolling live race brief at the poolside or lakeside. As competitors will start every 30 seconds, this will prevent groups of people and a 2 metre distancing measure will be in operation.
Finish Line
When you have crossed the finish line, we ask you not to stay in that area for any longer than required. Drinks will be dispensed for you at the finish feed area, please move away as quickly as possible to allow other finishers through.
Results
We will not operate our results screen at the event. Provisional results will be online at www.uktriathlon.co.uk later the same day.
Prize Presentation
Presentations will take place throughout the day, please observe 2 metre social distancing if attending the presentation.

Feedback

It was the first triathlon I had ever done and based on todays experience certainly will not be the last! I had such an amazing day and the event was just about as professional as any sporting event I can say I've ever been to. The Stewards were simply brilliant, providing all the right information for a beginner like me but also providing lots of support all way around the course- which was very much appreciated. On top of that I was very surprised (in a good way) at just how much good will and support all the other competitors provided.To be honest I couldn't speak more highly of the day and I just wanted to let you and your colleagues know that it was very much appreciated. I hope you enjoyed it as much as i did! Kindest regards Ian walker (163)

Thank you from a triathlon newbie. Brilliantly organized and THANKYOU to all the marshalls. p.s any tips on getting the tattoo sticky off your arms. - even tried some vodka this morning!! Zoe Elliott (TOP TIP: cotton wool with baby oil is great for sticky remnants)!!

A massive thank you to Keith, Zoe and all the team from myself and Samantha Tyacke for making her first Triathlon an amazing experience. So friendly encouraging and helpful one and all. You even made mum and dad feel so special and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you so much Andy Smith
