The Accuro Jersey Triathlon is a focal point of triathlon on our island each year, and brings together a community of triathletes, of all abilities and ages, all looking to achieve something memorable through the shared passion of TRI discipline sport. As a result of the ongoing restrictions in place to contain the spread of COVID-19, we have adapted the event format into a virtual triathlon challenge, so that we can still showcase triathlon sport over a three-week period.
The Accuro Jersey Triathlon Virtual Challenge will take place between 1 – 19 July 2020.
The Virtual Challenge will have a particular focus on fundraising, and we encourage all participants to fundraise for our two official charities Brightly and Alzheimers Jersey and one benefitting entity Oscar Maclean Foundation who are listed below and require as much support as possible in this current challenging environment.
- Brightly
- Alzheimer’s Jersey
- Oscar Maclean Foundation
Our aims are to showcase triathlon sport, promote our beautiful Island, promote healthy and active lifestyles and fundraise for local charities. The approachable virtual challenge format is designed to welcome participants of all abilities and support all people who are new to triathlon.
We very much hope that you will enjoy participating in this fun challenge and that you will share your endeavours with us, so can welcome even more people to multiple discipline sport and continue to do good in the community through the continued operation of the Accuro Jersey Triathlon.
Good luck! Have fun and stay safe!

Who can participate?
We are delighted to welcome participation from Jersey, Guernsey, UK, France or wherever you may live. The main thing participants need to consider before participating is whether the local government restrictions relating to COVID-19 allow you to complete all of the disciplines that you are entered for. For example, if you are not allowed to swim in the sea or in a lake, or for that fact, if you live in a city and cannot travel to the sea or lake, then select the duathlon option.
As long as participants comply with government COVID-19 restrictions (including physical distancing) that are in place where you live and so long as you approach the challenge with safety in mind, then we welcome you with open arms.
Please note it is very important that participants comply with their local government’s COVID-19 restrictions that are in place and pay particular attention to the physical/social distancing rules that are in place.
Outdoor challenge participation on public roads/areas will be undertaken entirely at the risk of the participant, organisers and sponsors cannot be held responsible for any injury or damage caused to participants and/or third parties.
