Live event rules & regs

For all our intrepid Superheroes & Sidekick teammates taking part in our two live annual events at Dorney Lake, there are just a few simple codes of conduct we ask you to follow to ensure you have the safest & most stupendous time possible. Thank you.

  • Pre-challenge safety briefings are a must for all those taking part to ensure you’re primed & ready for action. (Please arrive 1 hour before your Winter Wonderwheels start time & 90 minutes before your Superhero Tri start time.)

  • There are no mission cut-off times. Take as long as you need & enjoy the ride.

  • Everyone is welcome to take part, as long as all solo participants & at least one team member considers themselves to have a disability of any kind.

  • Please ensure everyone taking part on the course &/or assisting in transition is registered as part of the team when booking. Only those registered as an official team member will be allowed on the course &/or in transition on the day.

  • All bike/adaptive bike riders must don a cycle helmet as part of your super ensemble. (If this poses a sensory problem for anyone, please do get in touch.) We also recommend helmets be worn by anyone self-propelling or being pushed at speed.

  • If you are entering the water for one of our Superhero Tri events, you must wear a wetsuit. Full length or short-sleeved/legged versions are permitted. These are for your safety as they act as a buoyancy aid & are required by the swim safety team. If you do not think it’s possible to wear one, please do get in touch with us & we will do our best to work out an alternative solution.

  • If you are being towed in a vessel & do not intend to enter the water at any point, you do not need a wetsuit, but must bring a well-fitted life jacket/buoyancy aid to wear.

  • It’s our ethos to try to allow any equipment you may need to complete your mission. Check out our Super Kit page for some (but by no means all) of the gadgets & gizmos that are positively encouraged on the course. We ask that all gadgets be in good working order & pose no safety hazard/risk to other Superheroes (& don’t forget your spares). If you have a query regarding equipment, do get in touch.

  • The recommended minimum age is 3+ for all distances. The minimum age for Superheroes being pushed/pulled for the bike or push/run stage is 2+. We recommend everyone under 12 be accompanied by an adult on the course (or under 15 if taking part in the Full Superhero Tri).

  • Please note for Superhero Tri ONLY, anyone under 12 entering the water (or under 15 for the Full distance) must be accompanied by an adult.

  • We trust that all our Superheroes & Sidekicks will show their fellow participants the respect they deserve & allow everyone to enjoy their mission unobstructed. Motivational cheers & general camaraderie very much encouraged.

  • We strongly recommend not using any equipment that might act as an impediment to hearing or concentration when competing in the event. This includes, but is not limited to, mobile telephones, personal stereos & MP3 players. If this poses a concern to anyone, please do get in touch.
