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 an open water 650 m swim and a three lap 5.7 km run around the lakes. Distances are set to fit a midweek training schedule.
Distances:
- 650 m swim in the south lake
- 5.7 km run over three laps
There are five race dates across the season: Race 1 on 13 May, Race 2 on 10 June, Race 3 on 8 July, Race 4 on 12 August and Race 5 on 9 September. Field size is limited to 40 participants for water safety.
Participants must have prior open water swimming experience and must wear a bright swimming cap. Club members are asked to park in the normal car park; public car parking is available at the Beacon Pub and is a short stroll to registration and the start. If a swimmer gets into difficulty during the swim they should roll onto their back and raise one arm to attract assistance. Take care when exiting the lake as ground may be wet and slippery. Swimming in the lakes is forbidden except for events or authorised open water swim training sessions; unauthorised swimming may lead to removal from the site and future disqualification.
