After a sell-out year in 2011, the Portishead Triathlon is back for 2012.

A great coastal location with a superb outdoor 33m pool venue means this event is already creating a buzz in the Bristol area. With a top sponsor on board and some renowned triathlon clubs in the vicinity of the venue, this race looks set to be very popular in its second year.
