The open water swim takes place in the River Severn and is monitored in line with British Triathlon Federation guidance. If river conditions are unsafe, the swim element will be removed and the affected races will run as duathlons. Competitors are advised about hygiene and wound care to reduce the risk of illness after open water exposure.

The bike route uses wide country roads with about 57 m of climbing per lap; the standard bike distance uses two laps. The run and duathlon run courses use mixed surfaces; organisers have revised the run layout for warmer weather so athletes are never more than 1.5 km from a drinks station. Event hydration support is enhanced and finish‑line refreshments are kept chilled in a refrigerated vehicle. Athletes are reminded to monitor symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, cramps, or confusion and to seek assistance if needed.

Onsite camping and caravanning are offered on Fish Meadow for Friday and Saturday nights at a set fee, with facilities including hot showers, washbasins, water, toilets and refuse points; there are no electricity points. Children under 12 are free for camping. Participation requires a race licence or a single use race pass in addition to entry, or an appropriate annual membership.
