Midweek Aquathlon
An aquathlon at The Bridge Events Dartford is a continuous two stage race with swimming followed by running. The event uses the south lake for the swim and routes around the lakes for the run.
- 650 m open water swim in the south lake
- 5.7 km run completed as three laps around the lakes
The event series includes five races in 2026 with dates in May, June, July, August and September. Entry is limited to 40 participants for water safety. Participants must have prior open water swimming experience and wear a bright swim cap.
Safety notes include not racing if feeling unwell, rolling onto the back and raising one arm if in difficulty during the swim so help can arrive, and taking care when exiting the lake because the ground may be wet and slippery. Club members should use the normal car park. Car parking at the Beacon Pub is free and a short walk to registration and the start.
Swimming in the lakes is forbidden outside organised events and authorised open water training sessions; unauthorised swimming may lead to removal from site and disqualification from future events. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
