Swimming: The triathlon begins with a pool swim, where participants complete their chosen distance, with everyone having an individual swim start time (based on their swim estimate). This allows competitors to participate alongside others of the same swim ability.

Cycling: After conquering the swim, competitors transition to the cycling stage. The cycling routes winds through the scenic countryside surrounding Chesham. The 20K and 10k courses offer a challenging and visually captivating ride. The 6.5K Fun2Tri route offers flat stretches, turns, and a fun and encouraging course atmosphere.

Running: The final leg takes participants to Chesham's School field for the run section of the triathlon. The field provides an excellent running course, fully grass and flat, allowing athletes to showcase their endurance and determination as they approach the finish line.
