The Westonbirt Sprint Triathlon is back for 2024…!
The Westonbirt Sprint Triathlon has sold out year on year since 2011 and is now the “must do” sprint Triathlon in the South West.
Race Summary
The race takes place in 2024 on Bank Holiday Monday 27th May in the famous South Gloucestershire village and will again see the stunning transition & finish layout in front of the beautiful Westonbirt House. Places will be strictly limited to 500 in 2024.
The event swim takes place within the grounds of the beautiful Westonbirt House at the Westonbirt Leisure Centre . The swim is in the heated indoor pool, with the bike a fast, flat course, which passes the world famous Westonbirt Arboretum and the Royal Residence of Highgrove. The final run takes place through the school grounds and is entirely traffic-free. Definitely one of the most beautiful locations around for a triathlon, making this a must-do event.
