The swim is a tidal river event held on a 750 m looped course starting beside the statue of Byrhtnoth and heading toward Northey Island. Tidal conditions impose a swim cut-off of 1 hour 10 minutes and an overall event cut-off of 9 hours. The bike course is non-draft legal and follows quiet roads of the Dengie Peninsula, passing Latchingdon, Tillingham, Steeple and Mayland. The run uses a flat 5 km loop along the promenade and sea wall footpath, with the final kilometre looping through Promenade Park; surfaces include paved paths, grass and gravel track.
Transgender athletes are welcome in both recreational and competitive categories. British Triathlon categories for this event include a Female category for athletes who are female at birth and an Open category for all other athletes. All finishers receive a medal and additional items at the finish. Wetsuit hire is available and the event partners with Alzheimer’s Research UK for fundraising.
