Coquet River Sprint Triathlon & Aquabike - The Braid, Amble
The event on 21 June 2026 offers sprint triathlon and aquabike formats at The Braid, Amble. Entry is restricted to adults aged 18 or over. Registration opens 1 March 2026. Early bird entry is £45 and will increase on 1 June 2026. Parking at The Braid is limited.
Distances:
- 750 m swim in the tidal River Coquet
- 20 km bike on an out and back route on public roads
- 5 km run on a two lap mixed terrain course
The swim takes place in a tidal river with temperatures similar to the North Sea; wetsuits are very likely compulsory and otherwise strongly recommended. The swim will be organised in waves at four minute intervals, with up to six waves. The bike leg uses public non-closed roads and the Highway Code takes precedence; British Triathlon Federation rules will be enforced and breaches may result in disqualification. Examples of actions that can attract disqualification include crossing central white lines on single carriageway roads, failing to signal when turning right at roundabouts, and not being prepared to brake at junctions and roundabouts.
Chip timing, finisher medals, and trophies for the overall top three in the open and female categories will be provided. Tea, coffee and cake will be available after the race in the yacht club. Non BTF members must purchase a BTF race pass for this event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
