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 full sprint sequence together, tagging between teammates so each athlete swims, bikes and runs in turn. The format specifies the order Athlete 1, Athlete 2, Athlete 3 for the swim, bike and run stages.
Course distances per athlete:
- Swim – 750 m (Box End Lake)
- Bike – 23 km

The bike course is a single lap on local roads with a mix of countryside lanes and faster sections. The run route is flat and runs around Box End. The swim uses a staggered start. Event facilities include a transition area, toilets and on-site medical support. There are no aid stations on course.
Team competition categories cover Open, Open Veteran (45+), Female, Female Veteran (45+), Mixed and Mixed Veteran (45+). Prizes are awarded to the top three teams in each category. Teams are limited to 144 entries. A course record of 3:36:22 is noted for 2025.
