Osborne's Grays Triathlon (Aquabike / Aquathlon) - 19 July 2026
The East Essex Triathlon Club hosts the Osborne's Grays Triathlon in its 26th year. The event is a sprint triathlon held at Blackshots Swimming Pool and nearby parkland in Grays, Essex. Entries are open to adult and youth competitors aged 15 or older on 31 December 2026. The event accepts alternatives to the full triathlon: Aquathlon (no bike leg) and Aquabike (no run leg).
The swim takes place in the pool; the bike follows a road course around Grays and Orsett that is described as relatively flat; the run is on grass and park trail around Blackshots Park, a traffic-free loop that is mostly flat with a small rise at the start of each lap.
Distances:
- Swim: 400m (12 lengths of a 33m pool)
- Bike: 20k (road course; helmets are compulsory)
- Run: 5k (grass and park trail)
Entry fees vary with early entry discounts available until 31 January 2026. Withdrawals are accepted up to 14 days before the event with the fee refunded minus a £5 administration charge. A British Triathlon Race Pass is required for non-home-nation members; published race pass costs differ by age group. Provisional results will be available the same day and final results will be published within seven days. Total places are limited to 200.
