A grassroots triathlon in the South West

It's the return of the 'little triathlon that could', with even more support for new triathletes, training in swimming and cycling and transition for all entrants, the most supportive and positive crowd experience, and the possibility of raising loads of money for Wotton Swimming Pool into the bargain!

If you've participated before you already will know how engaging and supportive the event is, and how we keep away from the more structured and costly experiences of a commercial offering. It's a super sprint triathlon, but with a more challenging course (especially bike) than you would normally find on a course of this distance.

Have a look at the details on this website, check out the information on our Facebook, Instagram and Twitter/X socials, and come and join in the fun of the greatest grassroots triathlon* in the United Kingdom (*statement under ratification by national triathlon bodies, but clearly worth a punt!).

The event:

The swim is a lovely gentle glide through the azure waters of Wotton Swimming Pool - only twenty lengths of a 19.1 meter lido, so you'll spring out of the water all fresh and ready to go...

...and then it's on to the bike for a relaxed spin through the country lanes of the Cotswolds/Severn Vale, exploring a number of gentle undulations and brief kicks up and down, before...

...hopping off the bike for a leisurely jog around the town of Wotton-under-Edge, taking in the sights, sounds and bucolic scenery of that part of the South West.

What more could you ask for? Well, have a look at the details, register on the site and submit your entry form, and cross your fingers and hope you have a space! Entries are very limited, as we don't overcrowd the event and we want to make sure that new athletes are supported well on their first triathlon. That means a maximum of 90 competitors are allowed - could you be one of the lucky ones in 2025?
