Welcome to the British Quadrathlon Association

British Quadrathlon AssociationThe sport of Quadrathlon has been going for approximately 20 years and has recently undergone a significant upsurge in interest in the UK, with many more people finding the attraction of the four sporting disciplines, (swimming, kayaking, cycling, running), too much to resist! Race organisers have reported increased entries and interest in general. The British Quadrathlon Association (The BQA) is actively promoting and supporting these interests and details of where you can enter races and generally get more information can be found on these pages.

The BQA runs a National Trophy Series of events which are generally spread throughout the country. Each event contributes points towards finding a National Champion, with the best three results for each individual to count. There are separate classifications for Men, Women, Juniors (u23) and various 40+ age groups for men and women.

Races on the National calendar are of varying distances and a mixture of the four disciplines. Some are kayak triathlons (without the swim section) and some have off road bike sections. Some races are technically demanding, others are better for beginners. Everyone is catered for!

Quadrathletes on the whole are a friendly bunch, who are happy to help and support each other. The team atmosphere at the World Championships in the Czech Republic is something not to be missed, and all are welcome to participate. Training events are occasionally run to help each other improve skills. On the whole camaraderie is a positive aspect of this small but growing sport.
