Hythe Bay Triathlon Overview
The Hythe Bay Triathlon is a Super Sprint distance event organized by the Ashford Tri Club. Held at Hythe Swimming Pool, the race is in its eighth year of operation. The event is open to participants aged 18 and over as of December 31, 2025. It serves as a local competition designed by athletes for the community, featuring a multi-stage course through Hythe, Folkestone, and Sandgate.
The competition consists of three specific disciplines:
- 250m zig-zag style pool swim
- 16km bike ride from Hythe to Folkestone and back
- 5km run along the seafront from Hythe to Sandgate and back
The swim takes place at the Hythe Swimming Pool located on South Road. Following the swim, the cycling leg utilizes the roads between Hythe and Folkestone. The final stage is a run that follows the coastal path along the seafront to the finish line.
All entrants receive a goody bag and a memento upon completion of the race. Additionally, participants who have not been members of the Ashford Triathlon Club in the last four years are eligible for one year of free membership. This membership provides access to coached training sessions, theory sessions, and a network of over 60 members. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
