Set Yourself a New Challenge Today And Raise Funds for Help For Heroes!
The Castle Triathlon Series comprises of four exciting weekend events and a midweek evening sprint series over the course of the summer. Each race offers a high quality, competitive and safe race set in beautiful grounds and truly spectacular surroundings. Very few races in the country offer such a stunning and motivational race setting, testament to the 4,000 taking part in the 2010 series.
Each castle event offers nine different races* ideal for all different levels. Whether taking part for the first time, a child, a family, elite triathlete or a relay team the Castle Triathlon events offer a race for you.
Triathletes will start with an open water swim in a spectacular open water lake, transition into the cycle circuit through beautiful countryside, and finally make a dash to the finishing line on a run which cumnavigates the estate and castle grounds. Children cycle a route which is exclusively on the estate and not on public roads.
Why not set yourself, or your whole family a new personal challenge today, take part in a growing trend, raise money for a good cause and you might learn a little about history too!
