East Cheshire Junior and Sprint Aquathlon : The King's School, Macclesfield
The event is a swim and run aquathlon held at The King's School, Alderley Road, Prestbury, Cheshire. It uses the school's indoor 25 metre, six lane pool and off road running on the school playing fields. The course is entirely traffic free and waves are organised by age category.
New for 2025: chip timing and finish line photography. Entries receive a McA Series medal and participants are given a small packet of sweets and a bottle of water after finishing. Results are posted online and emailed within five days.
Age categories are determined by age on December 31 of the competing year. The event is open to ages 8 and over and includes the following race distances:
- TriStart (age 8): Swim 50 m; Run 600 m
