Hosted at a selection of stunning and iconic castles across the UK, Ireland and France, the Castle Triathlon Series events all promise an inspirational and memorable race experience.
Arguably the finest castle in the series – Lough Cutra – provides a fitting backdrop for the curtain raiser of the 2017 Castle Triathlon Series.
This first race sets the scene for a competitive and fun series, hosted within the beautiful grounds and surrounding area of stunning South Galway.
What’s more, the race coincides with a Bank Holiday in the UK and it is also the first weekend of the UK school half term, making it an ideal break for sporty families.
Coming barely a week after the UK Summer Solstice, the second leg of the 2018 Castle Triathlon Series will take place at Cholmondeley Castle in Cheshire during the long, bucolic days of June.
The Cholmondeley event attracted thousands of competitors and their supporters to the beautiful countryside of Cheshire, with the race offering the quintessential Castle Triathlon Series experience of competitive and fun racing, an epic castle backdrop and a stunning rural location.
After it’s debut in 2014, the famous full Iron distance is returning to Hever Castle with a vengeance. The Hever Gauntlet half-iron triathlon is now held bi-annually giving triathletes the option to race alongside the full iron-distance Bastion competitors. Whilst these hardy triathletes battle their way around this iconic course, we shall host a further five challenges, including the full and half marathon, for those looking for an opportunity to ‘go long’
The iconic endurance challenges will kick off with a 3.8km lake swim, followed by a 180km bike course taking competitors around the beautiful Kent countryside. A 42km marathon run completes what will be arguably Britain’s toughest and most rewarding long-distance event.
The Castle Howard Triathlon will finish a memorable July in style with a whole weekend of racing on the southern border of the North York Moors.
The rapturous reception afforded to previous Castle Howard Triathlons has subsequently led to this two day weekend event to be The triathlon of North to take part in. Race entrants will start the race by swimming through Castle Howard’s Great Lake before transitioning into the technical bike route through the glorious rural idyll of Yorkshire and the Howardian Hills. The spectacular run leg passes through the undulating countryside of the estate before a sprint finish tops everything off in style right in front of the main doors of the house.
The Castle Triathlon Series makes its yearly pilgrimage over the English Channel in August for the fifth race of the 2018 series.
