7th March 2027 – Probably the South Coast’s best-loved Aquathlon!
ENTERThe Frosty Aquathlon is a well-established, open to all and highly popular swim/run race. It starts and finishes at The Littlehampton Wave on the West Sussex south coast. The Frosty is a well-known season-opener, a great test of your winter-training. Plus it’s suitable for all levels, from seasoned vets to multisport novices.
It can be cold and we have even seen snow! But don’t worry, the swim is indoors and the transition at pool side, which means that you can pull on your trainers and get ready for the run in the warm, along Littlehampton’s iconic seafront promenade!
Above all, it’s renowned as being safe, well run and great fun! See here for reviews from previous competitors.
We offer two distances, so go long or go fast – your choice!
- The Frosty: 800m pool swim and 10k run (minimum age 17)
- £37.50* for BTF members.
- £45.50 for non-BTF members (includes required purchase of £8 BTF Race Pass)
- The Frostbite: 400m pool swim and 5k run (minimum age 16)
- £35.00* for BTF members
- £43.00 for non-BTF members (includes required purchase of £8 BTF Race Pass)
(* excludes ResultsBase fee). Entries will be available on-line only – no on the day entry. Closing date for entries is 28th February 2027.
If you are not a member of the British Triathlon Federation (BTF), you will need to purchase a British Triathlon Race Pass, which costs £8 and provides relevant insurance. Our entry system will highlight how the Race Pass fee is directed to the BTF in accordance with their rules. People who are not UK residents will need to purchase their own insurance through their home country federation or personal insurance provider.
With thanks to our 2027 Event Sponsor, The Massage Lab Sussex who will be on-site and offering post-race massage at The Wave, in exchange for a donation to our supported charity of the year, Cancer United.
Alongside your entry fee, we ask whether you would like to donate to Cancer United, our local cancer charity. We are working with Cancer United as our charity of the year, a cause close to our hearts which has affected several of our members over recent years.
