The Bedford Triathlon

Sun 17th August 2025

A cyclist wearing a yellow and black outfit and a white helmet rides a yellow bike on a road surrounded by green trees and bushes. A male athlete in a yellow and black triathlon suit runs on a paved path beside a canal, with trees and greenery in the background on a sunny day. A triathlete in a wetsuit and orange swim cap sits in a wheelchair at the edge of a racecourse, near a red inflatable marker, with a volunteer standing nearby.

Fantastic well organised Triathlon. Everyone was very supportive and it was so well marshaled. No chance of taking the wrong turn as there were so many at each junction. I enjoyed the river swim and the park and countryside were beautiful to run and cycle through.
