A Huge Thank You from the Harwich Triathlon Team!

What a weekend! The Harwich Triathlon 2025 was a roaring success – and that’s down to the incredible people who gave their time, energy, expertise (and sometimes their sanity!) to make it happen.

To everyone who played a part – whether you were marking out the course at 5am, cheering on athletes, baking goodies, or firing up the timing systems – thank you. This event simply wouldn't happen without the dedication of a small army of generous and passionate individuals.

Lost Property at Harwich Triathlon – Check the Box!

After a fantastic weekend of racing at the Harwich Triathlon, we’ve ended up with a box of items that didn’t make it home with their owners. Whether it was the post-race buzz, the adrenaline of transition, or just the general chaos of a busy weekend, a few shoes, bags, and other bits and bobs have been left behind.

​Just a quick update on the weather situation relating to tomorrow's race (Olympic).

If you've been monitoring the weather forecast like we have (religiously), you'll know the weather hasn't been looking wonderful for Saturday with potential for some high winds and rain. 

From our perspective, we will our very best to lay on the planned triathlon, BUT if there is a significant enough risk to safety to anyone involved in the event, some elements of the race will have to adjusted to cater for that risk.  The key factors that will guide our decision making will be:

1. Can swimmers reasonably complete the planned swim course in the conditions as they are on race morning? 

2. Can the sea marshals reasonably hold their position safely in the water for the period of the swim element of the race and provide safe passage for said swimmers?

3. Is the area clear of lightning strikes close to the location of the sea swim during the period of the swim?

If any of those ceases to be true, we will have to look at cancelling the sea swim.  There is the option to shorten the swim route if the first two points are borderline.  However, if we do choose to cancel the sea swim, we will revert to a duathlon.

Harwich & Dovercourt Cricket Club, located on Low Road field (Google Maps), what3words ///sprouted.proposes.tentacles, is open from 12:30pm on both days and anyone who comes to the bar with their finishers medal can receive 25% off all drinks, and they can have as many as they want!

If you fancy a celebratory drink and want a very short walk to get it, this is the perfect place to head.
