Rules. The race has been sanctioned by British Triathlon Federation and is subject to BTF rules. There will be British Triathlon Race Officials both static and mobile. There are many rules governing triathlons/duathlons which can be studied at the British Triathlon website if desired. However, listed are a few of the more basic ones that often upset Race Officials and other competitors alike.
• Helmets; Must be worn and fastened before you remove your bike from the racking and until you place it back on the racking before your second run.
• Drafting or taking pace during the cycle section is not allowed. There must be at least 7m between cyclists on the road. If you are overtaken you must drop back at least that distance before trying to regain your place. This link explains it very well
• Transition area; No cycling in the transition area. The mount/dismount points will be pointed out at the race briefing. Helmets shoes and other equipment must be stored neatly at your racking spot so as not to impede other competitors. Transition space is limited only bring what you need for the race into transition.
• Marshals and officials are all volunteers and the race could not take place without them. Any abuse will result in disqualification. Please refer any dispute to the race official.
• No outside assistance. If you puncture or have mechanical problems once the race has started you have to fix them yourself. No handing up of food or drinks from anyone else. You have to carry or leave in transition what you require. The drinks station in transition is an exception to this rule as it is provided for all competitors.
• No Litter. If you need to take energy bars, gels etc. make sure that you dispose of the wrappers appropriately. The easiest way is to tuck it in the leg of your shorts, you won’t know it’s there. Anyone caught littering during the race will be disqualified.

Any sensible questions not answered here please email using the contact us page. Replies will be brief as these are many of you and few of us, most importantly have a very safe and enjoyable day.
