ATW presents the Bristol Triathlon, one of the UK's most-popular 'closed-road' Triathlon events, in a vibrant city known for its culture, creativity and green spaces.
The race is based around Bristol Harbour, starting with a swim in the Cumberland Basin, followed by a traffic-free ride on Portway under the famous Clifton suspension bridge and to round it off, an epic run alongside the River Avon, finishing over the flyover where you will be cheered home by thunderous support!
Whether you are a novice cyclist enjoying the traffic-free route, or a serious athlete looking to post a PB, this 'closed road, traffic-free' event will be one you will remember.
This is a rolling-start, non-drafting event with starts from 7am, with two distances to choose from:
- Sprint - 750m Swim - 21km Bike - 5km Run
- Standard - 1500m Swim - 42km Bike - 10km Run
If you don't want to tackle all three disciplines yourself, there is also an Aquabike (Swim-Bike) on offer for both distances and a relay over the Standard distance.
This event is for athletes of all abilities and ages.
