Planning your race

A sprint triathlon usually consists of approximately 750 metres of swimming, 20 kilometres of cycling and a 5 kilometre run. Its relatively short duration can suit a first triathlon as well as an intense race for experienced athletes. Before choosing an event, check whether the swim takes place in a pool or open water and how demanding the bike course is. Elevation, transition arrangements and permitted equipment can change the character of the race significantly. These distances are guidelines rather than a guarantee: organizers may use different lengths to suit local conditions. Relay entries and start groups also vary. The official event website contains the binding course details, equipment rules, start times and entry information. A confirmed date makes training and travel easier to coordinate.
