How to Register:

Click the link to go to the registration page.

You can register multiple participants for any number of events, by selecting races and filling in a few personal details. Digitally sign the liability waiver.

Creating relay teams.

Each relay team should have JUST ONE REPRESENTATIVE create your team name and provide the name and discipline (swim/cycle/run) of each team member, as well as an expected swim time to assist us with creating heats. The other team members NEED NOT register online — in fact, we’d rather them not.

Complete the online registration process.

You will receive an email confirmation and a downloadable PDF once you have registered. [If you do NOT receive the confirmation email, your registration process has been UNSUCCESSFUL.] Please save this email / PDF as it will be required for you to make payment — and the QR code will also make packet pickup a speedier process on the day of the event!

Pay for your registration.

Take your confirmation PDF or email to the UWC school office to pay between the hours of 8:00 and 16:30, Monday through Friday. 

Or pay by Mpesa to Laila on 0787 740 313.

Additionally, paying on-site at the triathlon is an option. 

Please email the race director if you have any questions.

RACE BRIEFING (Optional)
Members of the triathlon committee will set up on Friday afternoon. You are welcome to come and have a look at the transition area and ask questions about the routes at that time.

PACKET PICKUP
Packet pickup will require check-in on Saturday morning. Please check-in as soon as you arrive (with your QR code).

You MUST be at your event 1 HOUR BEFORE your estimated heat time. We will begin each heat at the earliest opportunity; if you are not there you may miss your race.  

PRIZE GIVING & RESULTS
Prizes and results will be given in two waves: The first once the earliest morning races are completed and another for the late morning races.

MARKING, SIGNAGE, and MARSHALLS
All courses will be well marked with chalk, and there will be marshals at main junctions.

SWIM: The swim will take place in a 25m pool at UWCEA, with 6 lanes and wave control lane ropes. The swim starts will be staggered according to the number of competitors in each category.

THE CYCLE & RUN for PINK and BLUE races will take place entirely within the premises of UWCEA. The terrain is a flat non-technical mountain bike course of gravel and grass. There will be marshalls along the course to guide the participants. 

THE CYCLE & RUN for PURPLE, GREEN, and ORANGE races are as follows:
CYCLE: To make the course as accessible as possible, the ride is a non-technical mountain bike course on a mixture of gravel roads, jeep track and single track on a rolling gradient.
RUN: Off-road on a mixture of gravel road, jeep track and footpaths, rolling gradient.

BIKE RENTALS
