To Our 2025 BQA Members and Race Organizers

It’s been a much better year on the whole for Quadrathlon Racing as we were back up to 4 Races with 2 of our race organizers adding a Sprint Race to their Middle Distance Event, thanks to Lincsquad, and Simon Hamond,Bude for this fabulous addition! The Brigg Bomber hosted the European Championships, and Dearne Valley Sprint was a World Cup Race, this is fabulous for GB to have these races on the World Circuit, even though we are a small minority sport, it certainly helps raise the profile and gives GB Athletes to get a World Ranking too. The numbers racing across the board were up on last year, big thanks to ‘Team Manvers’ and ‘Lincsquad’ who are continually doing a sterling job introducing new athletes to our sport.

On behalf of the BQA I’d like to say a Huge THANK YOU to all our Race organizers and volunteers, they work so hard each year to put on these events for us, it is a big commitment and we really do appreciate your time! Thanks also to all the Sponsors who support them, and to you the BQA Members please keep spreading the word and as always thank you for your valuable membership and ongoing support, it’s so much appreciated by your Governing Body. Your annual fees are vital so we can run the BQA Governing Body and more important provide the ever important Insurance fees to be able to support the Race Organizers…. Big Thanks!

I would also like to say an enormous thanks to John Kavanagh who produces the BQA and WQF Tables after each race, this is a huge commitment and we are all very grateful for his dedication in getting these tables done for us …. Thanks John A Big Thanks also to Donna Chappill for stepping in as our new BQA, she is certainly a great ambassador for our sport!

Thanks also to every single one of you involved, without you our sport would simply not exist, our race organizers, our marshals, coaches, and also to every single one of you that made it to the start line this year, be proud of what you have achieved and we look forward to seeing you again next season!

Motivation to train is often fueled by race adrenalin, so next season let’s keep supporting our event organizers, and continue to fuel our passion for our wonderful sport! #smallsportbigheart 

The Full 2025 Report and Dates for 2026 Events BQA- ANNUAL REPORT & AGM 2025

This year on the whole, has certainly been an improvement on the last two years, with Covid restrictions gone and many athletes getting back to training and getting their ‘race heads’ back on! We had 4 Quads in our calendar, with sadly Bude having to be cancelled due to a dried up canal caused by a major leak! The numbers racing across the board were were reasonable, but hopefully we can continue to build on getting more athletes into our sport next season. Please keep spreading the word and as always thank you for your valuable membership and ongoing support, it’s so much appreciated by your Governing Body ‘The BQA’.

I would like to say a Big Thank – You to our Race Organizers who very successfully did us proud yet again, and also to every single one of you that made it to the start line this year, be proud of what you have achieved and we look forward to seeing you again next season!

BQA- ANNUAL REPORT & AGM 2022

Thanks Jean BQA Secretary – malpasashleys@btinternet.com

I started last year’s Annual Report with these words …. ‘As most of you will know, I’m never stuck for words, but for once I didn’t really know where to start putting together our BQA Report ….’ Well it’s not been quite that bad we did have 3 Quads in our calendar and many of us managed at least one of them! It has certainly been another tough year for many of us, but hopefully by next season we will all be firing on all cylinders!
Motivation to train is often fueled by race Adrenalin, so let’s hope we can back to racing, and put events in our calendar to fuel our passion!

We had 3 races in our Series in 2021 and I would like to say a Big Thank – you to our Race Organizers who very successfully did us proud yet again, and also to every single one of you that made it to the start line this year, be proud of what you have achieved and we look forward to seeing you again next season!

Hi Quadrathletes,

Thank you for supporting our sport of Quadrathlon this year, we hope you have had a great Season, enjoyed your racing and will come back for more next year. I hope you are enjoying a Recovery and Rest Period, and will soon be motivated to get back into training, and looking at next years race plans! Once again we’ve have some great races organized by extremely hard working volunteers so lets keep supporting them! Enter their races (early) and spread the word amongst your fellow athletes.
