Midweek Aquathlon
The Midweek Aquathlon at The Bridge in Dartford is a continuous two-stage event that combines open water swimming and running. This series consists of five separate races held between May and September. Each event features an open water swim in the south lake followed by a multi-lap run around the surrounding lakes.
Participants must have prior experience with open water swimming to take part in this event. It is also mandatory for all swimmers to wear a bright swimming cap for safety and visibility. Water safety measures are in place, limiting each race to a maximum of 40 participants. The event is designed to fit into a midweek training schedule.
The course distances include:
- 650m open water swim
- 5.7km three-lap run
Free parking is available at the Beacon Pub, which is a short walk from the registration area and the race start line. Participants are advised that swimming in the lakes is strictly prohibited except during official events or authorized training sessions. Accessing the water at other times is considered trespass and results in disqualification from future events.
