The swim takes place in the warm shallow freshwater QE2 lake. The bike course leaves the museum toward the coast and Cresswell village. The run follows footpaths through woodland and grassland and passes the museum finish at the end of each lap, providing spectator viewing points.
The event has previously hosted national and international age group qualifiers and championships. Non British Triathlon Federation athletes entering junior and adult triathlon, aquabike or aquathlon events must purchase a BTF Race Pass. Saturday open water swim challengers do not require a BTF licence. A 5 percent booking fee is applied by the online entry partner. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
