2025 FORMATS

Back in 2025 our much loved standard format of:-

20 Minutes Ski Erg
20 Minutes Bike Erg
20 Minutes Row Erg.
2 Minutes rest between each Erg
DRIATHLON Score = Max Cals added together for all Ergs

DRIATHLON Taster

Same format as our standard DRIATHLON but with lesser durations of 10 Minutes on each Erg with 2 mins rest between each.

1 hour of working out can seem daunting to the younger generation so we are introducing our JUNIOR category with only 10 Minutes on each Erg with 2 minutes rest between. Only for Sub 16 year olds.(2 Age groups of 10-12 and 13-15)

These events will not be part of the standard DRIATHLON season but will run alongside it at Special One Offs (Dates/Venues tbc).

Assemble your squad for teams of 8

Male Pair
Female Pair
Mixed Pair
Male Solo
Female Solo

Work through the DRIATHLON In those categories and each pair and each solo will get an individual score which will go on a leaderboard but all scores will be added together to make a Team score as well.
