Event summary
Organiser's Description
Crowning a hill, the Belvoir Castle’s turrets and towers rise over the Vale of Belvoir like an illustration in a romantic fairy-tale. The name Belvoir – meaning ‘beautiful view’ in French, and pronounced today as ‘beaver’ – dates back to Norman times.
Four castles have stood on this spot since 1067, and it’s a pretty perfect location for a fortified castle. Looking over the battlements from the North Terrace of the current Castle, you can see for miles over the counties of Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and Lincolnshire. And on a clear day, you can even see Lincoln Cathedral, some 30 miles to the North East.
This multisport weekend event at Belvoir Castle will host a huge range of races for all ages and abilities. Recommended for both beginners and seasoned athletes.
Whether you’re 9 or 90 years old, a first-timer or an elite, you can pick from our triathlon, duathlon, aquabike, aquathlon, run and swim races. You can also race with a team of friends in one of our relays options!
We’re working on the routes for this new venue and will share with as soon confirmed.
