Swim

You will start approximately 200m to the west of the swim exit. From the start you will swim 100m directly out to the first yellow buoy. Turn left (keeping the yellow buoy on your left) and swim for 100m to the east to the red buoy. You will make a slight left turn (keeping the red buoy on your left) and swim 100m towards the next yellow buoy. Turn left (again keeping the yellow buoy on your left) for the final 100m back to the swim exit.

Bike

The cycle route for all adult races is a simple 5km loop up and down the seafront. As you mount you will be heading west. When mounting please be aware of cyclists passing fast on your right who will be on their subsequent laps. At the western end of the course, you will make a tight right 180-degree turn. You will head east past the Hove Lawns and then make your second 180-degree right turn. Heading east again you will approach the dismount line; if you are continuing onto another lap keep right and be aware of athletes slowing to dismount on your left. If you are at the end of your last lap keep left and slow as you approach the dismount line.

Run

The 2.5km run lap consists of various out and back sections along the seafront. You will always be running in an anti-clockwise direction, always passing to the right of oncoming runners. Keep right and overtake to the left (taking care to avoid oncoming runners).

At the finish

Once you have crossed the finish line, you will be presented with your medal and t-shirt. There will be water and HIGH5 Energy Drink available. Once the last cyclist in your race has finished the bike leg, you will be allowed to return to transition to retrieve your bike and other kit and belongings. There will be an amazing atmosphere for all finishers so please stay around the finish area after your race to keep the buzz going for all!

T-shirt collection

You will collect your t-shirt and medal immediately after you have finished. Your race number will have your requested t-shirt size printed on the front. Please show your race number at the t-shirt collection point. To collect your t-shirt, you must hand over your timing chip in exchange for the t-shirt.

Results and awards

As you cross the finish line, your name, time, overall position and age-group position will be displayed on the finish gantry. There are awards for the top three male and female finishers in every 5-year age-group. That's almost 250 awards!

Please note there is also a Super-Sprint Youth Triathlon for ages 15-16.

The event atmosphere was outstanding. Everyone was really friendly. The bike course and run course a are super flat and fast. The sea swim was a bit wavy but the buoys were very clear. Great for spectators. Ben P

Overall a great event with a well laid out course, friendly and professional organizing team and an iconic setting. Jonathan H

Great event. Both me and my daughter took part - she did Tri Star and I did Standard! Wonderful weather, great support, superb organisation. We will be at the start line next year! Jack H

Really lovely event. Well run. Safe. Ideal for beginners and for those chasing a PB! Peter G

Absolutely fantastic event, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Simon C

I took part in the standard race, my first one, I would recommend it for that too. The sea swim was particularly fun with great views of Brighton. Overall I think you definitely get what you pay for. Tim D

Tribourne smashed it out the park again. Best UK organisers and I'm so pleased they've got their hands on this event because it can be a real crown jewell on the south coast and I'm looking forward to it developing further over the coming years. Thanks everyone! Richard C

Great for a first time Tri. Staff were very nice and made me feel at ease. Swim was a dream and a lot of staff in the water and gave a good briefing right before we went in, so felt really safe. Will definitely do again! Mel T
