National Water Sports Centre, Adbolton Lane, Nottingham NG12 2LU
Welcome to the 30th running of the TRIATHLON RELAYS at the National Water Sports Centre, Holme Pierrepont, Nottingham. The National Water Sports Centre is situated two miles south of the city of Nottingham. We are proud to host the 2021 Triathlon England Club Relay Championships with the racing taking place on a completely closed road course which is near perfect for both competitors and spectators alike.
British Triathlon Federation Event of the Year 2007 & Triathlon England Event of the Year 2015
Originally started in 1991, this weekend has become legendary in as much as although others have tried to replicate it, the Triathlon Relays is still very unique. In 2019 over 2000 athletes and over 100 different clubs joined in the fun that we call 'organised chaos'.

The Triathlon Relays
Each member of the team individually swims 500 metres before tagging their team mate, and so on, and so on, until all four people have completed the swim. Moving onto the 15km bike, each athlete individually completes the 15km bike, until the last team member then tags the first team member to start the 5km run section.
In the morning, the men's and women's categories will be racing in various categories for National Championship Awards - junior, senior, vet 40 and vet 50.
In the afternoon, the mixed category will give the chance for the men's and women's teams to combine and race for more National Championship Awards.
