The Course

Swim: downstream open water swim in the River Severn. A wetsuit is recommended for the swim - and is compulsory if the water temperature is 14°C or less (past temperatures have ranged from 14-18°C).

Bike: the bike route follows wide open roads out in the countryside with a total 57m climbing in 1 lap. The standard distance is 2 laps.

Run: a largely flat 5km circuit; 4km of the route is a combination of a quiet, rural lane, a private farm track and a grass footpath along the river bank. The standard distance is 2 laps.

Relay: Not sure about doing a whole triathlon? Enter a team of 3 people into either the sprint or the standard distance triathlon. One person completes the swim, the second cycles and then the third does the run.
