THE TEAM
This event is unsupported ie. there will be no aid stations or road signage on the course. Each team must consist of three members, so at any one time, one member will be racing while the other two act as support crew. Support crew will be responsible for navigating the course and providing each athlete with nutrition. (The swim stage is organised such that you will not require a support boat). Please refer to Rules and Guidelines for more info regarding Support Crews. It is up to you how you split the roles within the team. Your team can consist of two athletes and one support crew, or you can bring three athletes and split the crewing between you. It is also your choice how you break up the event. For example: one athlete may choose to race the entirety of Day 1 – swim followed by bike – or you can change athlete every kilometre if you wish!!! Your success will depend heavily on good tactical and logistical planning.
Ideal opportunity for those considering UMUK 515 as a solo athlete to recce our stunning yet demanding courses.
Perfect introduction to ultra-distance stage racing and the different challenges associated with competing over three consecutive days.
Beautiful yet brutal courses with no repetition. Just one big loop each day full of incredible scenery.
After each gruelling day, you get a well-deserved rest before tackling the next challenge!
A great weekend away with your mates! No other triathlon comes close in terms of the bond formed between you and your team over the three days.
Superb and friendly atmosphere as everyone involved in UMUK events – staff, athletes, support crews, is there for the duration of the long weekend.

HOW DO I ENTER?
Entry to UMUK Team Relay is by invitation only. Organisers will select and invite a maximum of 10 teams on a first come, first served basis as the applications are received and if otherwise qualified. The selection of invitees will be based upon the experience, qualifications and criteria met for each applicant.
It is recommended that the applicants will have completed at least one iron distance race within the previous 18 months of the event being applied for. Other ultra-distance events are also considered as qualifiers assuming they have distances equal to or greater than iron distances. Other solo long distance events are considered if it is deemed they require the planning and training that would be of benefit to the athlete doing UMUK Team Relay.
Please read carefully our Rules and Regulations, and additional Guidelines before submitting your application.
