Sunny Hunny Triathlon
The Sunny Hunny Triathlon is an multi-sport event held in Hunstanton, featuring distances designed for both newcomers and experienced athletes. The competition utilizes chip-timing and follows a fully signed and marshalled route. Participants must be at least 16 years old by the end of the year to enter.
The event consists of three distinct segments:
- 200m pool swim at Alive Oasis
- 18km looped cycle around the town centre
- 3.5km run to St Edmunds gardens and back
The swim takes place in a 25m pool, where competitors complete eight lengths starting at regular intervals. Any stroke is permitted except for backstroke. Following the swim, the bike leg consists of three 6km laps on a non-drafting course. Competitors may use any roadworthy bike equipped with working brakes, and a properly-fitting helmet is mandatory.
The final run leg follows a path along the promenade and clifftops toward the lighthouse, passing the St Edmunds Chapel ruins. The terrain for the run is a combination of tarmac and grass, concluding with a finish on the green near the bandstand.
On-site facilities at Alive Oasis include toilets, changing rooms, and lockers. Transition is located on the pedestrianised area at the end of Seagate Road, where a bike mechanic is available to assist with technical issues. The event also serves as a fundraiser for the Hunstanton RNLI. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
