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.
