Now in its fifth year, the On The Edge middle distance triathlon will be based in the grounds of Park Farm within the Compton Verney hamlet.
The swim takes place in the Capability Brown designed lake surrounded by beautiful trees, with transition overlooking the grassy bowl. Once the swim is done it is out onto the middle distance bike course around the Warwickshire countryside. After the bike, competitors return to the venue to start the run around the scenic local area before finishing in style in parkland overlooking the lake.
This is a truly special race at a beautiful venue.

A mixture! The event gets its name from climbs and descents along the well-known Edge Hill escarpment so you can expect the bike course to have some hills but some fast flats too. For this reason it's suitable for both TT and road bikes. The run route has just the right amount of hills and flats to challenge you. A map of the routes can be found above.
Yes, there will signage all the way around the bike and run routes.
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.
We may be able to organise a partial refund for the middle distance event and the amount will depend on how close to the event date you wish to withdraw. Please email enquiries@do3.co.uk. Alternatively, could you change your entry to a relay? Again, please email us at enquiries@do3.co.uk.
Yes, it is. Please email your request through to enquiries@do3.co.uk
Yes you can, please email your request through to enquiries@do3.co.uk as there may be an additional charge to cover costs (ie giveaways, medals etc). There will be a charge at registration for any non-BTF members.
Yes you can, please email us at enquiries@do3.co.uk
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. There may be a charge at registration for any non-BTF members.
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.
We are hoping to be able to offer on-site camping. More information will be available soon.
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.
Please email your request through to enquiries@do3.co.uk and we’ll do our best to accommodate you. Competitors will enter the water according to their swim speed, with faster swimmers going first.
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.
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.
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 Saturday 20th July, and during the events on Sunday 21st July.
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.

If we feel during the run that you are not going to finish in time then you may be asked to stop. Try to ensure you are ahead of the cut off times as you can’t rely on catching up later in the race. If you are behind you may be asked to return to the venue.
No, in line with British Triathlon rules headphones and bone conducting head sets are not permitted.
Yes, for the middle distance race there will be aid stations on both the bike and run courses, offering (to be confirmed and subject to change/availability) water/High 5, Xendurance gels, bananas, crisps, and jelly babies. Cola and water will be offered on the run aid stations.
