Superhero Summer Tri

We're super excited to sponsor the Superhero series this year.  The main summer event is the Superhero Tri, taking place at Dorney Lake in August. Please come and join in the fun with Team Invacare; you can either participate or spectate.

There are three  distances to choose from & many ways to take part in these super-fun & flexible tri challenges. You can fly solo & take on all three stages (a swim, cycle & push/run for any tri newbies out there), share the fun in a team relay, or Superheroes can recruit Sidekick teammates to tow, push & pull them around the entire course!

A regular highlight of the day is the Celebrity Superhero Tri relay, where Superheroes can win the chance to unite with stars from sport & screen! Checkout our Super Team Captain line up.

The Superhero Tri distances:

Superhero Tri Sprint: Swim 150m, Bike 3km, Push/run 1km

Suoerhero Tri Half: Swim 400m, Bike 10km, Push/run 2.5km

Superhero Tri Full: Swim 750m, Bike 20km, Push/run 5km

Who can join the Superhero Tri missions: Everyone is welcome. The rules state that all solo entrants, or at least one team member, considers themselves to have a disability of any kind.

How: Superhero organisers want to make it possible for you to use anything you might need to complete your tri stage/s. For the swim, you can use flippers or floats or be towed in a vessel on the water (just remember to let the organisers know about your vessel when you sign up). For the cycle, all types of adaptive bikes & wheelchairs are welcome. For the final run/push, everything from baby buggies to race runners & powerchairs are actively encouraged. For gadget inspiration, check out our Super Kit page.

Dress code: A Superhero outfit, of course! Check out some of these supersonic costumes to help you look & feel the part.

Super important: Please remember to register everyone taking part or assisting in transition as part of your super team when you book – Superheroes & Sidekick buddies – as only those signed up as an official team member will be allowed on the course &/or in transition on the event day. Each & every teammate, however big or small your role, will receive a T-shirt, medal & Super Kit Bag for your part in the super mission!

There are no cut-off times & all types of gadgets & gismos are welcome on the course. So grab those masks & capes, sign up & save the day!
