Proper Crisps Team Triathlon

The Proper Crisps Team Triathlon offers a unique format that emphasizes teamwork and strategic participation. Set on scenic Rabbit Island, this event challenges teams in three different modes of competition. In the Team Tag Triathlon, each team member completes a full triathlon sequence—consisting of a swim, mountain bike, and run—before tagging the next participant. This format fosters a strong sense of camaraderie as each member contributes equally to the team’s overall performance.

Alternatively, the Team Tri option allows participants to specialize based on their strengths: one swims, another bikes, and the third runs. Each discipline is executed three times in succession, which adds an element of endurance and skill optimization. This format appeals particularly to those who excel in a specific sport and wish to leverage their expertise for team advantage.

For those seeking an even more demanding challenge, the Loose Cannons category provides the ultimate test of stamina and versatility. Participants can opt to tackle all stages solo or form a larger team where each member—or any combination thereof—handles one or more stages.

The event is renowned for its engaging atmosphere, with competitors often comprising friends, family, or coworkers, which enhances the communal spirit. Additionally, the picturesque backdrop of Rabbit Island adds a visually stimulating component, making the race not only a physical challenge but also a delightful outdoor experience. This triathlon is managed by the Nelson Triathlon and Multisport Club, known for their well-organized and participant-focused events.
