Swimming: The triathlon begins with a pool swim, where participants complete their chosen distance, with everyone having an individual swim start time (based on their swim estimate). This allows competitors to participate alongside others of the same swim ability.
Cycling: After conquering the swim, competitors transition to the cycling stage. The cycling routes winds through the scenic countryside surrounding Chesham. The 20K and 10k courses offer a challenging and visually captivating ride. The 6.5K Fun2Tri route offers flat stretches, turns, and a fun and encouraging course atmosphere.
Running: The final leg takes participants to Chesham's School field for the run section of the triathlon. The field provides an excellent running course, fully grass and flat, allowing athletes to showcase their endurance and determination as they approach the finish line.
The Buckinghamshire Triathlon 2024 is not just a race; it's a celebration of fitness, a fun and relaxed atmosphere for teammates, friends and family to enjoy.
The swim discipline takes place from the indoor swimming pool followed by the cycle course which is flat with some undulations and takes in many fields and trees in this rural route through the Buckinghamshire countryside.
The final run discipline is on grass around the picturesque grounds of Chesham School.

Share the Swim, Bike, Run with friends and create your own relay team.
Just simply pick the discipline that you love and get your friends and family to choose what they'd like to do to complete your relay team.

HOW IT WORKS
Each member of the relay team completes one or two of the three disciplines in the triathlon.
The swimmer completes swim, then swimmer passes the electronic chip to the cyclist inside the cycle transition area.
The cyclist completes the cycle course and passes the electronic chip over to the runner in the transition area.
The runner completes the run and hands in the electronic chip at the finish line.
