First timers
For the beginners to all things tri, we’ve created a nurturing environment by providing help from the moment you sign up to the unforgettable moment when you break the tape at the finish line.
We even have a race specifically for you called The Starter Tri. This is a great place to start your triathlon career. With just a 200m swim (thats 8 lengths of your average local swimming pool), literally an out and back, a quick run up the hill to your first transition in your wetsuit, followed by a quick change into your bike stuff and then out onto the cycle course (12km or thereabouts). There will be other cyclists out there with you and loads of marshals to show you the way. Finally, after a brief change into your running kit (that may simply mean just taking off your bike helmet) you will have a 2km run, barely out of sight of the Finish in front of the castle at any point and then a sprint across the line to complete hopefully your first of many races!
We’ve also partnered with the triathlon specialists British Bike Hire, Yellow Jersey cycle Insurance, and a host of other brands to offer equipment and support for your race. Having the right equipment (and insurance) will help your passage to the finish.
