Q: I can't race any more, can I get a refund?

A: You can register for a refund if you are no longer able to race and once tri entries are full and the waiting list has opened, if we can fill your place we will refund you less £10 to cover costs.  There will be no more refunds after 30th June. The only way to request a refund is to complete this form. If you know someone who can take your place you can login to your EntryCentral account before 30th June and replace your details with theirs.  If you are unable to race because you have Covid or are having to self isolate please email us directly and we will arrange a refund.

​

Q: When do entries close?/ Can I enter on the day?

A: Triathlon & duathlon entries close at midnight 30th June unless the race is already full. It is not possible to enter after this date including on the day.  Due to Covid you cannot enter the Kids' Fun Run on the day either.  

​

Q: Can I defer my entry to 2022? Q: Can my friend race instead of me?/ I know someone who will take my place, can I swap with them?

A: You cannot defer your entry but you can swap your place with someone else before 30th June by logging into your EntryCentral account and replacing your details with theirs. You can also register for a refund if you are no longer able to race and once tri entries are full and the waiting list has opened, if we can fill your place we will refund you less £10 to cover costs.  There will be no more refunds after 30th June. The only way to request a refund is to complete this form. 

​

​

Q: Can I change from individual entry to relay?
A: Yes you can but you will need to email us first so that we can transfer your entry.  You will then need to log onto your EntryCentral account and enter the names and dates of birth of your team members plus whether they are BTF members.  Include a team name too if you want! Additional cost is £15 plus £6 per BTF day membership required (we'll reply to explain how to pay).  You can't switch from individual to relay after 30th June.  

​

A: Yes, if you sign up via EntryCentral you will be added to the waiting list.  You will receive an email from EntryCentral if a place becomes available.  If you don't hear by 30th June I'm afraid we won't be able to offer you a place.

​

Q: I can't remember what I entered/ whether I bought party/camping tickets.  How can I check?

Q: I haven't received my refund yet
A: We are only able to issue a refund if you registered before 30th June and we are able to refill your place. If you haven't received a refund yet and your name still appears on the 'Tri Sign-ups' list it means we haven't been able to refill your place. 

​

Q: What is the water temperature?/ Will it be a no wetsuit swim?/ Are wetsuits compulsory?

A: The water temperature will be published by 11am in the Registration Marquee.  If it is less than 14 degrees wetsuits are compulsory.  If it is more than 24.6 degrees wetsuits will not be allowed. So far the water temperature has always been between 14-22 degrees so wetsuits are option (but recommended).
