First Timers

Scan the transition area of any Castle Triathlon Series race and it’s easy to see that this is a series populated by both newcomers and experienced triathletes alike.

Female focussed

Few elite sports offer as much gender equality as triathlon, with Wellington famous for beating the majority of the men, and the feel good female figures continue in the grassroots race scene.

Juniors

From jumping in a lake, cycling through the woods to running around a castle, we pride ourselves on offering unforgettable, accessible races for 8–15 year olds at five amazing locations in England, Ireland and France.

Elites

Sky TV, Channel Four, Eurosport, both mainstream and the local press, international triathlon magazines and websites… the Castle Triathlon Series is covered by a huge variety of media outlets.

Triathlon clubs

Many clubs opt to enter a single event from our five race series but more and more clubs are doing the three-country Castle Triathlon Series tour.

Open Water Swimming

We follow a strict water testing protocol leading up to the event, however all open water swimming carries some risk.

Para Tri

At Castle Triathlon Series we possess an ethos of accessibility and inclusivity in which all our courses are tailored for paratriathletes, so that we can offer a race for everyone.

Schools

London 2012 had a significant impact on the uptake of triathlon. The Brownlee Brothers were a huge talking point for many, with children quoting their performance as they were inspired to sign up for a Castle Triathlon in the years since.

Corporates

With a huge number of Type A personalities and high-fliers at the peak of their business careers in the field, the races offer a platform to network and be seen, not forgetting the option of post-race bragging rights.

Charity

The competitors at the Castle Triathlon Series raised over £135,000 for charity in 2015 (and that’s just what we know about) for a wide spectrum of charities and good causes.

Spectators

Each weekend of the series will feature live bands entertaining the crowds, children’s inflatables, climbing wall and, of course live music to continue the festival theme! The historic Castle grounds are open for exploration, with lakeside walks and nature and wildlife spotting just some of the options for spectators to partake in.

Volunteers

The ‘free* place’ can be used for any race distance or could be used to reduce the Gauntlet and Bastion entry fee.
