The order will be Open-Female-Open-Female.

Team entries will be taken by the team captain with details of team mates being able to be added later if they are unknown at the time of booking.

Teams can participate made up of non-club members and/or members of different clubs.However, in order to be eligible for the Eastern Region Mixed Team Relay Championship all team members must be current members of Triathlon England and be members of the same club. 

Transgender athletes are, and will continue to be, very welcome at recreational and competitive activity in Triathlon. At any competitive event from 1st January 2023, there will be a Female category open to athletes who are the female sex at birth and an Open category open to all other athletes.

Route overview

The race begins with a deep-water start by an 'Open' category athlete who will complete a 350m lap in the crystal-blue waters of the wakeboarding lake. Next up is a fast 7.7km non-drafting bike leg that circumnavigates the venue and then finishes off with a 1km out and back flat run along the side of the lake in full view of the transition area before handing over to the next athlete who will start by running in to the water.
