Entry Information
Where can I find the Terms and Conditions?

If you are no longer able to take part in an event we have two transfer options; transfer to another competitor, or transfer to another event. Transfers must happen at least ONE calendar month prior to the event. Please see our full Terms and Conditions for further details.
Can I change my entry details?

Is there a minimum age to take part in this event?
The minimum age may vary for each race distance due to the National Governing Body guidelines. Please select the distance from the event page to find specific Minimum Age requirements along with other race information.
Do you have a waiting list?
When an event sells out there will be an option to join a waiting list. Once a space becomes available you will be emailed, you will then have 24 hours to purchase the space before this is offered to the next person on the list
Do you offer charity places?
We work very closely with a number of charities to support their fundraising. If you are a charitable organisation, please contact us for further information.
If you are an individual looking to take part in a charity place, please contact us for a list of our current charity partners offering places.
I have a disability can I still participate?
We are keen to make our events as accessible and inclusive as possible, however, due to the location of some of our events and the course terrain there may be limitations. Please contact us at info@alwaysaimhighevents.com to discuss your requirements and how we could support you.
What is British Triathlon day membership and why is it required?
British Triathlon Race Pass is a licence for racing and covers your public liability insurance for the day. If you’re not a Core or Ultimate member of British Triathlon (or your home country's federation), you must purchase a Race Pass to comply with British Triathlon Competition Rules. Race Pass costs £8.00 for over 25s and £2.00 for under 25s.
Prior to the introduction of Race Pass, participants who did not state they were a British Triathlon member, purchased a day licence at point of entry for £6. If you paid for a day licence, you DO NOT need to buy a Race Pass.
British Triathlon have mandated that Race Passes must be purchased directly, therefor we provide links for purchase in our confirmation email.
Your membership or Race Pass will be checked at Registration. If you are unable to provide this (and you did not purchase a day licence) you will be required to purchase a Race Pass.
For more information, please see the British Triathlon website.
Pre-event Information
When will I receive my Final Instructions?
Your Final Instructions will be sent out to you at least 10 days before the event. These instructions include all the detailed information you will need about the event and your specific race including confirmed timings.
When/how will I receive my race pack?
Race packs will be picked up from registration at the event village prior to the race start. Registration times are published on your race page.
What is in my race pack?
- Timing chip – must be secured to your ankle with the Velcro strap provided and returned to the organisers at the finish line UNLESS you are a Savage competitor.

There is a £55 charge for lost or non-returned timing chips.

- Bike Flag – Peel the backing and secure it to your bike seat post.
- Race number tattoo – Follow the printed instructions and place them on the right upper arm and right outer calf. Teams are provided with 2 tattoos one for the cyclist (placed on the right upper arm) and one for the runner (placed on the right outer calf).
- Transition security wristband – Must be worn at all times to access transition before, during and after the race.

You'll be able to find out the wave you have been allocated to via the live tracker approximately 10 days before the event. Waves are determined by your estimated overall race time. Wave times will be published in the Final Instructions.
Event Day
What are the race rules?
Our events are run under British Triathlon Race Rules.
Do you have cut off times?
Please select the distance from the event page to find any cut-off times for the race along with other information. Cut-off times are in place for the safety of the athletes and our marshals.

Yes. Water, energy drinks and gels are available at drink stations. Please see online route maps for approximate feed station locations. The most up-to-date information will be detailed in your final instructions.
Can I use headphones?
The use of headphones is not allowed at our triathlon and duathlon events in line with British Triathlon rules. This includes bone-conducting headphones. Participants seen using headphones will be disqualified.
What can I take in to transition?
Competitors should only bring equipment into transition that will be used for the competition. A small soft-sided bag such as a rucksack may be used and remain in transition, though it must not impede the progress of another competitor. Full details are in the British Triathlon Rules.

What can my family do?
Our event village is family-friendly and all our events are held in locations with lots on offer for families. We pride ourselves on creating a great atmosphere for spectators who can track the person they are supporting using an app so they don't miss them at key points.
