Teams of three people (all male, all female or mixed) can enter the challenge for £250. The first team member will swim 200m before handing over to their teammate who will cycle 10km, then the third member will complete a 2.5km run. Each team will get to race twice – once in the morning and once in the afternoon.

Team members will all receive a medal and a goody bag as well as one signed race T-shirt per team from Jenson Button. The F1 ace will also be presenting the prizes at the end of the day in the event village, where food, drink and live music are also planned throughout the day.

This year’s race will be held in Derby, moving from its previous home in Luton Hoo, Bedfordshire to accommodate more people, and there will be a £7,000 prize purse on offer, with £1,000 on the table for both the male and female overall winners.
