The Standard distance event is part of the London Series and the Standard race capacity was increased to 400 entries. The 2026 event took place on 5 July 2026; a 2027 date is tentatively proposed for 19 or 26 June 2027 pending confirmation.
The event uses open water lake swims and multi lap bike and run courses. Organisers list course layouts and changes for recent years.

Organisers note a wetsuit decision may be made based on early morning water temperature readings. Non British Triathlon members need a day license obtained through British Triathlon, which requires name and address. If part of the course is unusable the event may be changed to an Aquathon or a Duathlon. If the event is cancelled for bad weather a 50% refund is offered. Swimming in the lakes outside authorised sessions is prohibited and treated as trespass. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
