Organiser's Description
A great season opener, the event takes place in early May, making it one of the very first open water swims of the year, now taking place in the stunning Weston Park Lake.
Set in 1,000 acres of beautifully landscaped parkland the courses follow fast and scenic routes, perfect for those who are new to the sport as well as seasoned triathletes.
With a central UK location, Weston Park has excellent road links from Birmingham, Wales, and the North West. The venue itself is steeped in history and grandeur, with many excellent facilities for spectators and participants to enjoy on the day from long walks around the Parkland, to relaxing in the formal gardens to running wild in the Woodland Adventure Playground.
Bring the family along and make it a full day out to enjoy. Spectator Tickets are available from the Weston Park website.

ROUTE
Beginning with a 400m single looped swim in a Lake, surrounded by greenery and bird life, this is certainly a tranquil triathlon. Exit the water and make your way across open parkland to transition for the first time.
Head out on your bike for 2 laps of our speedy closed roads course. Take the time to look and you won’t miss some of the natural flora and fauna on offer as you exit the estate. Take a sharp left and think sprint speed for 1.5km, then it’s another sharp left back into the estate for stretches of tree lined roads. You’ll navigate past grand estate buildings before spotting transition. With two laps of the course, expect your second to be faster as you begin to feel familiar with the roads and turns.
With your running shoes on you’ll feel the full charm of the Weston Park estate. The route will send you running through a 2.5km loop of beautiful open parkland, taking in the views of the Weston Park house.
