Midweek Aquathlon
The Bridge Events Dartford organises the Midweek Aquathlon at DA1 5PR. The event is a continuous two-stage race consisting of swimming followed by running. Listed race dates include Race 1 – 13th May, Race 2 – 10th June, Race 3 – 8th July, Race 4 – 12th August and Race 5 – 9th September.
The course and entry details:
- 650 m open water swim in the south lake
- 5.7 km run over three laps around the lakes
The field is limited to 40 participants for water safety. Entrants must have prior open water swimming experience and must wear a bright swimming cap. Car parking is available at the Beacon Pub and is a short stroll to registration and the start; club members are asked to use the normal car park.
Safety guidance and site rules are stated for participants. Competitors who feel unwell before the event are asked not to race. If a swimmer gets into difficulty they should roll onto their back and raise one arm to attract assistance. Participants are advised to take care when exiting the lake because the ground may be wet and slippery. Swimming in the lakes at The Bridge is forbidden except for events and authorised open water training sessions; unauthorised swimming can result in being asked to leave and being barred from future events.
