    I’ve recently got a road bike, the wife is a useful swimmer and the father-in-law runs a bit so the wife has suggested we enter a team triathlon, just for the craic like. Good idea says I, the only problem is finding one!

    I would have thought that given the popularity of regular triathlons there would be loads of them run- alas there’s not even a section for them on the events page of British Triathlon website! What gives?

    Cheers,

    OK, so a ‘relay tri’ is probably what I’m wanting but still googling that there’s a dearth of events…

    Most tri races offer team places… maybe the website you are looking at just doesn’t show that very well…. although you probably have to do at least Olympic distance as opposed to sprint??

    Find a couple of races close to you and check out their own websites for entry details ??

    usually they are tagged onto sprint and novice tris

    generally not popular as you might as well just do a race in your chosen dicipline – less organising involved 😀

    Of the events I’m doing this year Worthing Triathlon 30th June, Aberfeldy Middle distance 17th August, Xterra UK Triathlon (Cranleigh, Surrey) 8th Sep and Portsmouth Triathlon 22nd September all have relay slots. A lot do.

    Ahh, I see- so they’re not necessary promoted as separate events. A sprint relay seems not really worth it- you’d just be getting warmed up! I’ll have a look into local events more deeply.

    Bugger, there’s one close to us at Grafham Water on Sunday, will have to remember for next year!
