Event information 2023
Duathlon events
Through the year, the majority of our events are duathlon format.
All our duathlon events involve a 2km lakeside run, followed by an 8km cycle on a quiet, well-maintained, low-traffic course around the Green Park perimeter road, finishing off with a final 2km repeat run.
As a little added incentive, there is homemade cake for all entrants at the finish line. The focus of GO TRI is on participation and completion rather than competition, so there are no awards or prizes for places.
You can however pay a little extra on your entry fee to get a medal if you'd like!
Summer Triathlon
Our August event is a mid-week early evening triathlon, starting with an open water swim in the beautiful Green Park Lake, which runs alongside the concurrent annual Green Park Swim for workers at the business park. This is then followed by the same cycle and run as the duathlon course. Unfortunately due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in 2020 and 2021, the swim had to be cancelled, and so we were unable to run a triathlon. Then in 2022 we had to cancel AGAIN, this time due to initially low water levels in the lake, and then forecast thunder and lightning on our rearranged date. We are really due a triathlon!
