The race starts and finishes at Park Farm, Compton Verney in Warwickshire. The postcode for the venue's car park will be issued nearer to the time of the event (what3words locator is: ///boast.departure.guises).

Is the course flat or hilly?

A mixture!  The bike route is mostly flat with a hill at the start and end (elevation 181m). The run route has just the right amount of hills and flats to challenge you. A map of the routes will be featured at: www.do3.co.uk/compton-verney-sprint-triathlon

Is there signage on the route?

Yes, there will signage all the way around the bike and run routes.

The event is sold out, can I go on to a wait list?

Yep, absolutely! Once the event is full you should see an option to join a wait list. Payment is taken when you go on the list but it's refunded if you don't get a spot.

Can I cancel my place?

Unfortunately, there are no refunds offered on the Compton Verney Sprint Triathlon.

Is my entry transferable to a friend?

Yes, it is. Please email your request through to enquiries@do3.co.uk

Can I change my individual entry to a relay entry? 

Yes you can, please email your request through to enquiries@do3.co.uk as there may be an additional charge to cover costs.

Can I change my relay entry to an individual entry?

Can I change the members in my relay team? 

Yes, you can. Changes can be made up to 7 days before the event.  Please email enquiries@do3.co.uk with the old team members’ names as well as the new team members’ names and we’ll organise this for you.

Do I have to wear a wetsuit?

We follow the temperature guidance set by British Triathlon.  It is expected that, as with most races, the majority of participants will choose to wear a wetsuit if water temperature allows.

Can I camp on the event site? 

We are hoping to be able to offer on-site camping. More information will be available soon.

How will I receive my race pack and when will it arrive? 

Your race guide will be sent to you via email. The race pack containing your number, chip, swim hat etc will be picked up at registration.

Can I request a wave start so I race with my friends?

Please email your request through to enquiries@do3.co.uk and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.  Racers will enter the water according to their swim speed, with faster swimmers going first.

When can I register? 

Ideally you need to register the night before your race.  The opening times for the registration desk will be confirmed closer to event day.  If you are a British Triathlon member you must show your BTF card at registration.  If you’re participating as part of a relay team only one member of the team needs to register but s/he must bring BTF cards for each team member where applicable and pay the day licence fee for any non-BTF members in the team. If you paid the non-BTF rate for your entry, then you have already paid for the day licence as part of your race fee.

Will I need trail shoes if the run is mostly off-road? 

Some of the run course will be run on public footpaths and trails.  Whilst you may like off-road shoes for this section, most entrants will be wearing regular running or racing trainers. If it has been dry then regular running trainers will be fine. If it has been very wet for a prolonged period it could be muddy in parts.

Can I train on the run course before the race? 

Parts of the route are on privately owned land, to which there is no access prior to race day. However, much of the route is on public rights of way, so can be used for training. Please note that there is no parking at Park Farm, except for registration during the evening of Friday 21st July, and during the events on Saturday 22nd July and Sunday 23rd July.  

Are there changing and transition tents? 

Unfortunately not.  You should keep all of your race equipment at your racking point. You should only bring one small bag to keep at the racking point and leave all other belongings in your vehicle, or with your support team.  There will be no bag drop/area.

Are there cut-off times for each section?

There are no cut off times for the Compton Verney Sprint Triathlon.

Can I use headphones?

No, in line with British Triathlon rules headphones and bone conducting head sets are not permitted.

Are there food and hydration stations on the run and bike courses? 

For the sprint race you will need to carry any nutrition and hydration.  

There will also be a catering stand(s) offering food and drink after the event.

Can I bring my dog?

Well behaved dogs on a lead will be welcomed. Please ensure that any mess is bagged and binned.
