ATW Big East & Maldon Triathlon
ATW Big East & Maldon Triathlon takes place at Promenade Park in Maldon, Essex. The event includes a headline Middle Distance race called The Odyssey and additional standard and sprint triathlon distances. Relay and Aquabike entries are available across all distances.
The main courses and options:
- Middle Distance: 1.5 km swim, 86 km bike, 20 km run
- Standard Distance: 1500 m swim, 40 km bike, 10 km run
- Sprint Distance: 750 m swim, 25 km bike, 5 km run
The swim uses a 750 m looped course on the tidal river, starting beside a statue that commemorates the Saxon Battle of Maldon 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 is a flat 5 km loop along the promenade and sea wall footpath, with the final kilometre through Promenade Park; surfaces include paved paths, grass and gravel track.
Wetsuit hire is offered, including Zone3 options and short term hire. All finishers receive a medal and additional finish-line items. Entrants may transfer their entry to another ATW event up to 48 hours before the event without proof. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
