RTP Morning Aquathlon

An Aquathlon is an endurance race combining a swim followed by a run, they are incredibly popular as starting points for many endurance athletes and are a great training race for those doing triathlons later in the year.



Our TRAINING RACES offer the competitors an opportunity to gauge fitness, practice mass swim starts, swimming with others, practice transitions and to add a element of competition to your training in a relaxed and inexpensive environment.

This will enable you to try new things and make sure that you get a great workout as well as preparing yourself for your major ‘A’ races during the summer.

To motivate you further, we have been fortunate enough to secure some amazing prizes from the numerous RG Active sponsors Speedo, Rose Bikes, Mule Bar, Suunto.

The address for our Right to Play Morning Aquathlon venue is – Redricks Lake, Redricks Lane, Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire, CM21 0RL, UK

Race day morning:
The races will start at 10:00am so we ask that you arrive in plenty of time to change, register, lay out your transition area and warm up prior to the race start. You will need to register your attendance at the registration desk where you will be given the following things:

- A coloured Speedo swim hat relevant to your swim distance.

- On your hand will be written a ‘Number’ or ‘Letter’, this will be how the race marshals are able to record your time at the finish line of the race.

At the registration desk you will also be able to purchase a selection of items including Speedo goggles, swim toys as well as sports lubricant, energy products from Mule Bar and some of the latest high tech products from Suunto.

Race Distances:

There are two options for race distance.

The Olympic 1,500m swim followed by a 10km run.

The Sprint 750m swim followed by a 5km run.

The distances for both races have been measured using GPS equipment. However it is possible that the marker buoys in the water may move marginally so please take this into consideration.

All athletes will start the race at the same time of 10:00am whichever race they are competing in.

Now all you have to do is Enter, Participate and Enjoy!
