As a permitted event organiser we ensure that we meet the national standards of safety. British Triathlon supports organisers to deliver safe and fair events through the provision of an event permitting and support service. A British Triathlon event permit demonstrates that an event is safe and fair, and organisers that obtain a permit can be assured that their event meets a set of national standards. 

A British Triathlon event permit demonstrates that:

• The event will be conducted in a fair and safe manner.
• The event planning and preparation meets the standard of quality required by the national governing body.
• A thorough review of the swim, bike and/or run course has taken place and that safety, medical and emergency requirements have been considered.
• The event will be conducted in accordance with the British Triathlon Competition Rules.
• The event has the appropriate event, volunteer and participant insurance.

In addition we ensure that the local Event Safety Advisory Groups have been consulted on each of our events where advice and guidance is taken from local authorities including the emergency services, highways agencies, traffic management and local councils. 

By taking part in one of our triathlon events you can rest assured that we have conducted the planning and due diligence thoroughly to ensure a safe, fun and enjoyable event is taking place. 

Finally, as a permitted event you, as British Triathlon members or race pass holders are insured to take part and those of you who have annual memberships are insured for training prior to the event. 

For more information on insurance, liability and if and when you are covered please visit British Triathlon and read their guidance. Do you know your cover? Do you have your own personal insurance?

Stay safe and enjoy the racing.
