Run CourseThe route is mainly along the promenade, which is likely to be busy. To minimise disruption please keep to the RIGHT of the prom at all times. We are sharing the prom with the general public, and it is your responsibility to keep out of their way. The map above displays the route. but please follow the direction of marshals. Out of transition turn left along the fence of the all-weather pitch to the Rugby Club. Turn left at the Rugby Club and onto the footpath that takes you up to the path and onto the prom. Turn right onto the prom and run along to the metal gate at the very end of the prom. Do a U turn and continue along the promenade until you are below the park (you can't see it from the promenade). Between the last row of beach huts there is a slope (marshalled). Turn almost 180 degrees to your left and climb the ramp from the seafront. At the top follow the signed and marshalled path to the top of the steep downward slope. Descend with care. Follow the promenade back along the seafront to the next marshal, who will direct you to the final run into the finish. The full course can be found on the website here _____________ WeatherIn the past the Harwich Triathlon has experienced (and gained a reputation for) some quite exceptional weather. High winds, biblical flooding, thunderstorms and torrential hail. Hopefully this year it will be nice warm conditions with a gentle cooling breeze, but please do bare this in mind and come prepared. If on the other hand, it is as warm as it is last year, please can I remind you all to not unzip or undo your trisuits while racing. Following BTF guidelines, it is really important that your trisuit remains done up for the duration of the race. _____________ Prizes & ResultsMedals and t-shirts will be awarded to all finishers of the Triathlon when you cross the line. Prizes and trophies will be awarded to the first female and first male finishers overall, as well as prizes for each age category winner. There are no prizes for the relay teams. Results will be published live on the day via our timing partner, Race Timing Solutions. You can access them using the link below:

The page will update throughout the day as athletes come through, so you can follow friends and family in real time — whether you're on the course, at home, or cheering from the sidelines.
Once you have finished your race, please speak to the marshals in transition with regards to collecting your bike and gear. They will advise on when transition is back open for athletes to collect their belongings after the race.
Tips for Race Day Bookmark the link before you travel so it's easy to find on your phone. Results are usually available within minutes of finishing, so check back shortly after you cross the line. You'll be able to see your individual splits for each discipline, not just your overall time — great for spotting where you flew and where you've got room to improve next time! If you're spectating, you can use the results page to track your athlete live and know when to be at the finish line. _____________ PhotographyWe will have professional photographers snapping away to capture your achievements at our event. Please smile if you see them, these photos will be published on our website after the event. If you did not wish for your photo to be published on our website, let us know when you register. We will also happily remove any photos you wish to have taken-down. _____________ RefreshmentsThis year we have a bigger event village than any previous year! On offer will be Mimi’s Kitchen with her amazing cakes and sweet treats, Hazy Dayz with a selection of savoury foods and Rebel Monkey Coffee, keeping us all hydrated and caffeinated throughout the weekend! Food and drink will be available before, during and after your race, so do be sure to go and get yourself some well-earned grub!
_____________ SpectatorsThank you for coming out to support your child/friend/family member compete in the Triathlon this year. We ask that spectators follow the instructions of any marshal given to them, for their own safety but also for that of the participants safety. In and around Race HQ there will be a lot of orange fencing, blue matting, and cables for chip timing. Please do not duck under any orange fencing and walk around to the nearest available crossing point should you need to get around to avoid any disturbance to our infrastructure. This also ensures you are not at risk of colliding with your athlete should they come running out of transition when you don’t expect them to. Under no circumstances should any spectator enter the transition area.
