How does transition work for the Outlaw Holkham Aquabike?

Once you have registered and collected your Race Pack please put your security wristband on your wrist as a bracelet (you will need this for access to transition at all times so do not remove it until you are on your way home) and apply your bike frame sticker to your bike. Both of these need to be done before you will be able to gain access to the transition area. Spectators are not allowed to access the transition area at any time. 

The Transition area is located between the lake and the Event Village.

You will need to rack only your bike, on your numbered spot, on Saturday. Please do not leave anything else with your bike. You will need your helmet on your head and fastened as you enter transition on Sunday morning, and any nutrition that you leave on your bike overnight may be taken by the local wildlife! 

Once you have racked your bike you will be given two High5 bottles that you can use for the Sunday race as you leave. Please note that you need to fill these yourself before you arrive on Sunday. 

When you enter transition on Sunday you will need to have your bike helmet on and fastened. You only need to do this once and can then leave your helmet on your bike. 

Please note that there are no changing facilities in the Transition area and nudity is not allowed, so please keep that in mind when preparing for the race. You can leave a small bag beside your bike (think cabin baggage) but there is no other bag storage in transition. 

As an Aquabike athlete, your race will finish when you come back into transition from the bike, this is when your time will stop. Please rack your bike and then when you are ready for your orange carpet finish, keeping your number on, exit via the run exit channel and when you reach the road turn left and walk to the finish line to collect your medal and t-shirt!  

Transition does not close, as relay teams need access throughout the race, but you will be restricted to a single entry/exit point. 

If you have lost your chip/race number/wristband/swim hat or have any other race morning emergency, our Customer Service Manager will be at one of the Transition Check In points (usually the one accessed through the Event Village) with what we affectionately call the 'Oh My God!' box. We have dealt with all sorts over the years including failed wetsuits, forgotten bike shoes (bit more difficult), split hats, lost chips and incorrectly applied security wristbands, so don't panic, just breathe and come and see us. If we can get you to the start line we will.
