Duck N Dash Aquathlon
Duck N Dash Aquathlon is a multi-sport race organised by Freedom Tri at Letchworth Outdoor Pool, Icknield Way, Letchworth Garden City, Herts, SG6 4UF. The main senior format combines a 400m pool swim with a 5 km run on the nearby Norton Common course. Reduced distances are offered for younger age groups.
The event is part of the East Region Adult Race Series and is the only aquathlon included in that series. The field is limited to a maximum of 350 participants and competitions are chip timed with age-group and open/female categories. Entries include individual adult and junior places, family tickets, two-person adult relay teams and adaptive entries with assistants. The organisers work with the national federation to include visually impaired and mixed ability athletes.
Timing chips are issued at registration only. Nonmembers of the British Triathlon Federation must purchase a BTF race pass at registration; the fee is listed as £8 for adults and £2 for under 25s. Prizes are awarded across junior and adult categories and there is prize giving at the finish area on Norton Common. Entry prices vary by category.
