51FIVER COTSWOLD STANDARD TRIATHLON
The #51fiver is back in 2024. After yet another sell out year in 2023, we are excited to go again at our awesome Standard Distance Triathlon event held at Lake 32 of the Cotswold Water Park.
The race sells out year on year, so enter early to ensure your place for 2024 on one of the fastest standard distance courses in the UK..! We will also after a successful first year be offering an Aquabike option at this event.
The full race information for this event can now be found HERE.
The race list in full is available HERE.
Race Summary
The event starts as always with a 1500mtr swim in the famously clear waters of lake 32 and consists of a 1 lap swim. It is then out of the swim ramp and in to the nearby transition.
It is then out on to the fast, flat bike course of 40k. The route takes in some of the most picturesque areas and villages of the Cotswold including Ewen, Kemble, Crudwell, Charlton, Minety and Ashton Keynes. The road surfaces in the area are very good, and there are long stretches of the course to really open up the taps and go for it.
After a quick dash back in to transition it is out on to the 1 lap run of the local area. The course is pancake flat and is all on tarmac so is super fast and is a big hit with all of our competitors.
All these things combine to make this the perfect venue for a Triathlon and mean the #51fiver Cotswold Standard Distance Triathlon is the ideal event for beginners, the experienced athlete and those looking for a standard distance PB.

TITAN BRECON MIDDLE DISTANCE TRIATHLON
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!

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.

Chip timing including splits and run laps as well as a King/Queen of the Mountain on the Bike.
