Sat 11th July 2026

A woman wearing sports gear and a helmet is running alongside her bicycle on a grassy field. There are event banners and a building in the background. The image has a blue overlay with the text "Start a NEW challenge" and the logo "OP Events. A group of eight women in athletic gear stand outdoors on grass, smiling for the camera. They each have race bibs pinned to their outfits, and some wear sunglasses. Trees and a clear sky are in the background, indicating a sunny day. A triathlete in a colorful suit, bib number 476, smiles with arms raised in celebration at the finish line. The text "Start YOUR triathlon journey today..." surrounds the image on a blue background. Other participants are visible in the background. Two athletes in triathlon gear walk their bicycles through a grassy course lined with vibrant, colorful flags. Spectators stand behind barriers, watching the event. The scene is lively with people of various ages, wearing casual summer clothing. An older man wearing a triathlon suit waves at the camera, smiling, with people and race barriers in the background. The image has blue borders with the text "Become a Triathlon Superstar" at the top and bottom. A man is grilling burgers on a portable grill in an open grassy area. He is wearing a black polo shirt and khaki shorts. Several people are seated and standing around nearby, and a black van is parked behind them. The sky is cloudy. A cyclist wearing a helmet and triathlon suit gives a thumbs-up and sticks out his tongue. The image has blue text that reads, "Come for the Triathlon, Stay for the weekend." The bottom right corner shows the logo of OP Events. A man with long hair and a beard, wearing an orange and purple shirt, joyfully crosses a finish line holding hands with a smiling young girl. The words "Feel like a TRI-LLionaire" are written around the circular image on a blue background.

triathlon and duathlon

Swim
750M / 1500M
Open water swim in the River Severn. Dependant on your event will determine the distance you need to swim.
The river water is tested in line with B.T.F guidance. If the river is not safe to swim in, the race will become a duathlon (i.e. run/bike/run). There will always be a risk of illness when swimming in open water.
To minimise the risk competitors should wash hands before eating or drinking anything (including after handling your wetsuit), aim to swim away from the edges where the flow is greater and water quality better, ensure any wounds are covered with a waterproof dressing and try to avoid drinking any river water.

Bike: 21KM / 42KM
The bike route follows wide open roads out in the countryside with a total 57m climbing in 1 lap. The standard distance is 2 laps.

Run: A largely flat 5km circuit, approximately 2km on tarmac, 2km on a private gravel farm track, 1km on a grass footpath.
The standard distance is 2 laps.
Sprint & 2nd run for duathlon: 5km; Standard: 10km.
The first run stage of the duathlon will be 2.5km of the same course.
​
Here is the triathlon course map and the duathlon course map.
​
Relay: Not sure about doing a whole triathlon? Enter a team of 3 people into either the sprint or the standard distance triathlon. One person completes the swim, the second cycles and then the third does the run.

  • Upton Tri+ reserve the right to alter any of the course if circumstances require them to do so. If Stage 2 or 3 Covid restrictions are in place it will be a time trial (i.e. one at a time) start not wave start & additional social distancing measures will need to be in place to ensure everyone's safety.

CAMPING

Camping and caravanning facilities will be available onsite on Fish Meadow, including hot showers and washbasins, water, toilets and refuse points. (No electricity points).
​
This will be available on Friday and Saturday nights only for £12 per person (regardless of number of nights). Children under 12 are free. Please book in advance.

transition

The 4th discipline...
Here are some tips to make race day a little bit smoother.
1) Layout your kit in the order you need it. (Always put helmet on first!)
2) What row are you in?
3) Make a note of how far you are from "swim in", walk the route and count the steps, it will help you remember your racking slot when you come out of the water.
4) Look for landmarks (Flags, kiosks, trees) level with your space to give a visual reference to where your spot is. (once you get near you should see the bike and your towel.
5) Don't panic, slow is smooth, smooth is fast!
By doing the above you can save minutes off your time, practice putting your kit on and off, it will make you efficient come race day!
