HeatWave Aquathlon
The HeatWave & MicroWave Aquathlons take place on 4 July 2027 at The Wave, Littlehampton (BN16 2NA). The event combines a pool swim in an eight‑lane, 25‑metre pool with a flat, well‑marshalled run course through Mewsbrook Park and along the seafront promenade. Lane counters are provided for the pool swim and transitions are described as straightforward.
There are two race distances:
- HeatWave: 800m pool swim and 10k run
- MicroWave: 400m pool swim and 5k run
Minimum ages apply: 17 for the HeatWave and 16 for the MicroWave. Entry fees differ for British Triathlon Federation (BTF) members and non‑members; non‑members must purchase an £8 BTF Race Pass (insurance) as part of entry. A ResultsBase booking fee applies. Entries are available online only and close on Sunday 27 June 2027; there are no entries on the day, no transfers, and no refunds after payment.
Both individual and team prizes are offered. Individual prize categories include Female and Open divisions plus age categories such as Vet (over 40), Supervet (over 50) and Vintage (over 60); the MicroWave also includes junior prizes. The team prize is awarded to mixed‑gender teams of four whose combined individual times produce an overall time.
The event complies with British Triathlon’s competitive categories policy, using Female and Open categories. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
