My first triathlon and I loved it! Everyone was so friendly, kind and helpful. The setting is stunning.
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!

Thank you for your support
…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 2024.
After the success of 2023, we are pleased to announce the return of The Belvoir Castle Triathlon 2024 (as part of the Belvoir Castle Multisport Weekend).
With the same format as the LAST 2 YEARS, the only change we will be making for 2024 is to add a Super Sprint Aquabike and Aquathlon and a Children’s Triathlon as well as the Aquathlon. The aim is to keep striving to make this event TRULY inclusive and there really is an option for EVERYONE! 🎉

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 esteemed Gastro Pod and keeping it cool with luxury ice cream provider Jenni & Ice cream 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!
