The ever popular Eton SuperSprint triathlons are back. The races take place at the fantastic Dorney Lake, which will be one of the venues for the 2012 Olympic Games. 

Each race starts with a 400m open water swim in the clear, clean waters of the rowing lake before taking to the closed, flat road circuit for a 4-lap bike course covering 20k. The final 5k run follows a 2 lap loop along the side of the rowing tank on tarmac paths. 

BOTH DAYS (Eton SuperSprint Saturday May 19th and Eton SuperSprint Sunday May 20th) ARE EXACTLY THE SAME. You choose which day you prefer to race. 

Each day will offer one MATES WAVE, in which friends will be able to race together. Those wishing to be placed in the same wave must enter through this entry type. LIMITED CAPACITY...enter early for this wave. Once the wave is full, entry for this wave will close! SATURDAY AND SUNDAY MATES WAVE NOW FULL.

2012 SuperSprint Bike Route

New Bike Route

Due to ongoing work at Dorney Lake in preperation for the Olympics we have had to use our contingency bike course to ensure the safety of all competitors. 1 lap = 5.3km, Sprint 4 laps = 21.2km.

Eton SuperSprint Course Map


RaceLocation

The event will be held at the rowing venue for the 2012 Olympic Games. Dorney Lake offers a clean open water swim, followed by a closed bike loop around the Lake, and finally the run goes down the side of the lake, making it the perfect course for beginners and seasoned triathletes alike. It's great for spectators, they can see you on each lap.

Full on-site parking means you can come and go while the event is taking place, we have showers and toilets aplenty and there is catering in the Boathouse.

Wetsuit Rules

AllAboutWetsuits

We are often asked if wetsuits have to be worn at our races. But the wearing of wetsuits in triathlon is governed by British Triathlon rules and is totally dependent on water temperature one hour before the start of the race.

Water Temperature Wetsuit Rule
Water temperature less than 14°C wetsuits are COMPULSORY 
Water temperature between 14°C and 22°C wetsuits are OPTIONAL (i.e. you can choose whether to wear one or not)
Water temperature above 22°C wetsuits are BANNED

We do say that wetsuits in fact help with buoyancy and warmth, so we strongly recommend that you wear one if they are optional. We will keep you updated with water temperature as we get closer to the event.
