Like quite a few others I accidentally ran an extra 2km due to inadequate signage. It’s the only reason I didn’t give it five stars.
I will definitely do it again though!

Event information
The transition area is nestled in the grounds looking up to the grand Belvoir Castle.
The Lake Swim: The open water swim takes place in a calm lake at the foot of the Estate with sights up to the castle, the swim is a multi lap swim. The swim is also perfect for those new to open water triathlon as you're never too far away from the lakes edge or your supporters. All competitors will be placed in start wave groups which will be confirmed closer to the date of the event.
Bike: All distances (other than the Super Sprint) is a multi-lap course with a challenging undulating profile through the idyllic vale of Belvoir villages. There are one or two sharp and gradual inclines that prove a good test of mental, physical strength and determination but you will be well rewarded with a route of discovery through quaint villages and quiet country roads.
The Super Sprint bike leg is one undulating lap.
Run: Feel the history of the land and be surrounded by ancient trees adorning your run, finishing with a scenic multi-lap run on tarmac roads around the estate running up to the Castle itself and then onto your Finish with the Castle creating a momentous backdrop for your free Finishers Photo download.

Organiser's description
Sunday 31 August 2025
…As part of the Original Multisport Weekend in the East Midlands.
This weekend is causing a stir in the East Midlands with a fast growing reputation as THE event to attend on the calendar for 2025.
After the success of the last 3 years, we are pleased to announce the return of The Belvoir Castle Triathlon 2025 (as part of the Belvoir Castle Multisport Weekend).
With the same format as the LAST 3YEARS, the only change we will be making for 2024 is to add a Cross triathlon and Cross Duathlon on the Saturday . The aim is to keep striving to make this event TRULY inclusive and there really is an option for EVERYONE! 🎉
Set on the stunning landscapes of the historic estate, providing the perfect backdrop for a memorable open water triathlon. We will be swimming in the estate's tranquil lake. The bike route is undulating through the best of the British countryside, finished by a picturesque run through the castle grounds.
Within the Event Village - We will also be enjoying fine coffee/refreshments from the much loved Cafe Allez, exquisite food from the local area. We have No Two Cycles keeping you spinning and spoking smoothly with their onsite bike mechanic services (should you need it!). Stay posted who will be joining us next!
All local businesses to Belvoir Castle and we look forward to them joining us!
