Sundowner Triathlon

THE SUNDOWNER TRIATHLON 2027

Saturday 11th September 2027  |  Allerthorpe Lakeland Park

 

Event is password protected to allow our marshal and those on last year's waiting list the priority booking window. 

Public bookings will open on Friday 2nd Oct

Welcome Back!

In 2025 we brought the Sundowner back to the race calendar — and what a return it was. After refining the event in 2026, you took us by storm and sold out three months in advance.

Whether you're returning or joining us for the first time, don’t miss out on this epic sunset‑chasing triathlon. Based on last year’s demand, early entry is strongly advised.

If the event sells out and you can no longer take part, we can process transfers to someone on the waiting list.

Course Overview

Swim

Enjoy a calm, shallow, clear-water swim in the man‑made lake at Allerthorpe Lakeland Park. Depths range from 5–7ft, offering reassurance for less confident swimmers. Small wave starts and sheltered conditions make this a friendly, flat-water swim.

Bike

A fast, flat open‑road course through quiet country lanes and villages. The route is non‑draft legal, well signed, and open to traffic throughout.

Run

A picturesque grass and gravel trail around the lakes — flat, scenic, and spectator‑friendly. The technical nature of the course keeps you sharp as you race the sunset to the finish line.

- Become a Core or Ultimate annual member
