The Event

The triathlon is open to pupils in Years 3-8 and is completed in teams of four as a relay.

You are welcome to include participants who are part of the wider New Forest community/friends in your team but there must be at least one Walhampton pupil in the team. Your team may be boys, girls or mixed. 

Each participant does each element of the triathlon as a relay. If you have a participant who, for example would prefer not to swim, another team mate can do that element twice.

Distances for the Juniors/Middles: Swim 2 lengths, bike 1km, run 700m.
Distances for the Seniors: Swim 4 lengths, bike 1.5km, run 1km.

Entry cost £20 per pupil (which includes an event t-shirt) and this will be added to your next school invoice.

The entry fee supports the Walhampton School Foundation Trust but if anyone wishes to look for further sponsorship please use this fundraising page.

By signing up each team agrees to provide one adult to help with marshalling. Each child requires a responsible adult on site during the triathlon, this is not a drop off event.

We are delighted to be hosting the inaugural Walhampton Triathlon on Saturday 21 September 2024.
We are inviting pupils in Years 3-8 to come and have fun swimming, biking and running around the beautiful Walhampton grounds with their friends.
The event will be raising money for the Walhampton School Foundation Trust.
