Bedford Triathlon Team Relays
The Bedford Triathlon Team Relays is a team-based sprint triathlon held at Box End Park, Bedford. Teams of three complete the swim, bike and run in sequence, tagging each other so every athlete finishes all three disciplines.
The event format requires each team member to complete:
- Swim: 750m (Box End Lake)
- Bike: 23km (single-lap on local roads)
- Run: 5km (flat route around Box End)
The swim uses a staggered start to manage flows. The bike course follows quiet local roads with a mix of countryside lanes and faster sections and is clearly marked. The run route is flat and suited to strong finishes.
Teams compete across multiple categories: Open, Open Veteran (45+), Female, Female Veteran (45+), Mixed, and Mixed Veteran (45+). Prizes are awarded to the top three teams in each category. Entries are limited to 144 teams. The published course record is 3:30:22 (Greenlight PT, 2026).
Participation requirements include British Triathlon membership or a purchased RacePass, a minimum age of 15 years by 31 December of the event year, and compliance with British Triathlon race rules; helmets are compulsory for the bike. Wetsuits are optional and rentals are available via Zone3. On-site facilities include toilets, a transition area, refreshments, and medical support; there are no aid stations on course.
