Our member-only aquathlons are a highlight and a benefit of Triclub Doha membership. these are free, timed race events taking placed place roughly once a month. These are a great way to check your progress over the season and prepare for triathlons, particularly open-water events. The swim and run are lap-based, for a more social vibe, and hopefully you can see your lap times improve over the season. Participation and position earns points towards the Club Championship. These are low key races; no medals, no podiums. Remember to bring your timing chip as we can't guarantee that you'll feature in the results without it.

Location
We are lucky to have the support of the Sharq Village and Spa to hold our aquathlons and treat ourselves to breakfast at a discounted rate afterwards. On arrival at the hotel, park in the main car park and make your way to the west end of the beach.
Route
The SWIM follows an approximately 500m clockwise lap around four bouys. The last of these is to prevent you accidentally leaving the water early. There is one additional sighting bouy for guidance on the way out, and on the way back the waterpolo goals perform a similar function.
Complete as many laps as required but after each, perform an Australian exit. This is where you must leave the water and pass over the timing line before starting the next lap.
The RUN is over an out-and-back course which heads out around the car park, passes in front of the hotel, thens turn left before the exit road, goes around the roundabout and returns the way you came. From roundabout to roundabout and back is 1.25km. Complete as many laps as required for your race distance.
