Titan Brecon Middle Distance Triathlon is back for 2024, and we are celebrating the 10th year of Titan... Possibly the most Iconic Middle Distance Triathlon on the UK Calendar which is not to be missed in 2024! And, we have added an Aquabike option for the event, so if running is not your bag you can still #BecomeaTitan.
Race Summary
A superb venue in the Welsh Brecon Beacons, with a beautiful lake swim, an ‘epic’ bike course and a traffic-free park-based run.
The event is located at the beautiful Parc Bryn Bach on the edge of the Brecon Beacons in Wales, and is easily accessible from South Wales, Bristol, Birmingham, London and the South West. This all adds up to making Titan Brecon the ‘must do’ middle distance triathlon on the British events calendar.
Titan Brecon Middle Distance Triathlon starts with a 1.2 mile one-lap swim and takes place in the park lake, fed by the waters of the Black Mountains in Wales.
The 60-mile bike course has now built a following of fans and ‘epic’ is the word! The quiet roads have excellent riding surfaces and the route tours the beautiful Brecon Moors before culminating with a sustained climb back to T2.
The final 13.1 mile run is a three-lap route around the lake and park – so it’s great for spectators!

Cut Offs
There are no official cut offs for each section of Titan Brecon Middle Distance Triathlon, though we do expect competitors to be close to finishing within 8.5 hours. However, we take a common sense approach on this, and if you are close to completing you will be able to finish. If you are deemed to be a danger to yourself you will be asked to stop, or if you are taking significantly longer than we deem acceptable you again will be asked to stop. For more information on cut offs please email james@icompete.co.uk.

Registration and Briefing Times
Registration will be open from 16:00 to 20:00 on Friday 5th July and there will be a short period of registration on the Saturday morning from 05:15 to 06:00.

Equipment
There are 4 items you must bring with you to Titan Brecon. When you arrive at transition you must have the following:
A working front light, attached to your bike (with fresh batteries)
A working rear light attached to your bike (with fresh batteries)
An item of reflective clothing (Yellow or bright clothing is not reflective, your item of clothing must be reflective).
A jacket to wear on the bike in case it is cold on race morning (races have started in temperatures as low as 6 degrees).
The reason for these rules is due to the weather conditions that could be faced on race day. The Brecons very much have their own micro-climate, and even in the height of summer it can be cold, dark, wet and misty. There will be no exceptions made to these rules, and if you do not have these 4 items of equipment, you will not be permitted to race. Please also note that we will be selling front and rear lights at registration for a very reasonable price.
