About the race
Woking Triathlon at Pool in the Park and Woking Park in Woking, United Kingdom, has run for over ten years and offers pool-based swim events, road cycling and a lapped park run that passes the central park area. The format uses a competition pool swim, an open road bike circuit, and a run course that is mostly tarmac with some hard packed trail.
Race options include a range of adult and junior events with specific distances:
- Sprint Triathlon - Swim 400m, Bike 20.6km, Run 5km
- Super Sprint Triathlon - Swim 200m, Bike 13.6km, Run 3.3km
- Sprint Aquathlon - Swim 400m, Run 5km
- Youth (ages 15-16) - Swim 400m, Run 3.2km
- Tristar 3 (ages 13-14) - Swim 300m, Run 3.2km
- Tristar 2 (ages 11-12) - Swim 200m, Run 2.2km
- Tristar 1 (ages 9-10) - Swim 150m, Run 1.2km
- Tristar Start (age 8) - Swim 50m, Run 600m
The pool swim uses a six lane competition pool with a snake style start; swimmers are seeded by submitted 400m times and those swimming more than 300m start with the first 150m in lane one before snaking. The bike course is an open road circuit that includes two laps between Mayford and Jacobs Well with a few short inclines but is otherwise described as flat and fast. The run is lapped around Woking Park, about 80% tarmac and 20% trail, allowing repeated spectator viewing.
Age is determined as of 31 December in the race year, and athletes aged 15 may enter the adult sprint, super sprint or aquathlon events. Entry benefits listed for competitors include a unique finishers medal, a feed station at the finish, chip timing with online results, an event safety team, and free event photos.
