The Bradford on Avon Olympic Triathlon received rave reviews in its first year and is back for 2012.

The event is set in the beautiful, historic town in Wiltshire and the 1500m river swim takes place in the River Avon. The 40k bike is a technical and scenic hilly route around the surrounding villages and the 10k run a fast, ‘out and back’ run along the canal tow path.

The event will again link up with the local town to add a festival feeling to the weekend.
