Can I brand our corporate tent?

Yes, you can brand your corporate however you wish. All we ask is that you are considerate of the others when branding.

Yes, you can drive to your tent and drop off supplies for your tent. Please note that all vehicles will need to be offsite from 7:30 and you will not be able to bring vehicles onsite after this time.

After this time, the access route becomes part of the racecourse, therefore cars will have to park in the designated car parking areas, and anything brought onto the site will have to be carried down from there (an 800m walk).

There is no storage to accept deliveries in the days leading up to the event. Please note that outside of office hours the main and inner gates are closed at Dorney Lake and are not manned, so you won’t be able to gain access outside of working hours.

This includes, but is not limited to, mobile telephones (which should be switched off if stored in transition), personal stereos and MP3 players.

Where do I need to go when I arrive?

When you arrive, you will need to visit the registration tent to collect your race pack. Registration for the triathlon, duathlon and relays is in the registration tent at the end of the mound. This is the first tent you come across when you walk from the car park towards the boat house; it is about half way down the lake, and is approximately a 5-minute walk from the start line.

Registration for the Property Swim is at the far end of the lake (the opposite end from the boat house).

At both registration points you will pick up your registration pack containing:

• Your race number (2 numbers if you are in the relay)
• 2 x race stickers (1 for your helmet and 1 for your bike)
• swim cap*, and
• timing chip if you are in the individual triathlon, relay (swimmer only) or swim only event**

* You must wear the swim cap provided as the colour denotes your start wave.

** Your timing chip should be on your left ankle for the whole of the race unless you are in the duathlon in which case your chip is already applied to your bib. Relay runners will be passing the chip from person to person at the changeovers.

Do I need a wetsuit?

The wearing of wetsuits in triathlon is governed by British Triathlon rules and is totally dependent on water temperature (and sometimes air temperature) one hour before the start of the event.

 

Wetsuits assist with buoyancy and warmth, so we strongly recommend that you wear one if they are optional. We will keep you updated with water temperature as we get closer to the event, with final confirmation provided on the day of the event. If in any doubt that the temperature will be warm enough, please bring a wetsuit along to the event. The final decision will be made by the Technical Official on race day.

Transition

When can I enter Transition?

You will be allowed into transition 1 hour before the start of your race. We will notify you of your exact transition time, closer to the event.

Please ensure that all your belongings are removed from your racking space immediately after your race. This is to ensure they can be re-used for future waves.

Where do I stand if I’m doing the bike or run of the relay

Stand by where your bike is racked. You will not be able to start your leg until your previous team member has reached the racking spot. Your timing chip will need to be exchanged over to the next team member before you can continue with the next leg in the relay.

Can I wear headphones during the event?

At triathlon events, British Triathlon Rule Number 8.1 states that “Any equipment that acts as an impediment to hearing or concentration is prohibited from use during an event (including transition).

How do I remove my items from transition?

The sticker on your bike & helmet will match a wristband given to you in your registration pack. These must correlate to one another in order to remove your bike from transition; do not remove your wristband before you have removed your bike. Please listen out for announcements and instructions on removing your bike.

Event Village

Where is the best place to watch?

The event village side of the finish line, or along the mound of the run course.

Spectators will be unable to access much of the bike course other than that which passes the event village area. The grass area from the registration tent towards the event village offers views of all three triathlon disciplines.

Can I bring my dog?

Yes, it is a dog friendly venue, but please be reminded that it must be on a lead and that you are responsible for it at all times.

Bag Drop

Due to the number of people taking part there is not a bag drop facility at this event. Baggage drop will only be available for those doing the Property Swim at 8am. If you dropped a bag off at this bag drop you will be able to collect it from upstairs in the Boat House after finishing your swim, and will be given two bagdrop wristbands (one for you to wear, and one for you to put on your bag) which will match one another.

We strongly recommend that those not taking part in the Property Swim leave bags with your relatives / friends or in your car. We advise however that you have on your person clothing for after the race, a mobile phone and a little money.

Will there by changing facilities on the day?

Yes, changing and showering facilities for all competitors are available in the Boat House. For those taking part in the Property Swim changing facilities are available at the top end of the lake near the swim registration.
