In the spirit of a Tandem event, ‘pairs’ should enter as a ‘team’ and complete the event on separate bikes but together. Entries will ONLY be accepted in the same age group. One person will complete the swim, at the Bishops Castle Leisure Centre, the partner will complete the run element on the College sports field and both will cycle their own bikes. Secondary School pupils in Year 7, 8 or 9 will complete the cycle course at the adult finish line, outside the Leisure Centre.

Please be aware that IF your child’s bike is found unsuitable, they will NOT be allowed to participate. However, with National Bike Week just before the event, there will be plenty of opportunities to get a bike check during the month before the event.

A requirement of entry is that each ‘pair’ must name an adult who MUST be willing to assist with organisation and NOT just watch their child. Tasks are not too onerous, perhaps lap counting, directing competitors or checking numbers as they finish. The ethos of the Junior Triathlon Challenge is of taking part so will not be a timed race. Please note that the minimum age for ALL competitors is 8-years of age.
