The must do Sprint Triathlon in the South West
The Westonbirt Sprint Triathlon is back for 2024…!
Entries open at 8am on Wednesday 15th November.
The Westonbirt Sprint Triathlon has sold out year on year since 2011 and is now the “must do” sprint Triathlon in the South West.
The race takes place in 2024 on Bank Holiday Monday 27th May in the famous South Gloucestershire village and will again see the stunning transition & finish layout in front of the beautiful Westonbirt House. Places will be strictly limited to 500 in 2024.
The event swim takes place within the grounds of the beautiful Westonbirt House at the Westonbirt Leisure Centre . The swim is in the heated indoor pool, with the bike a fast, flat course, which passes the world famous Westonbirt Arboretum and the Royal Residence of Highgrove. The final run takes place through the school grounds and into Westonbirt Village. Definitely one of the most beautiful locations around for a triathlon, making this a must-do event.
In 2024 for just £8 you can have your medal personalised with your name, position and finish time and if you’re keen, your splits too. Your details and results will be engraved on a small plate which fits neatly into the back of your medal. See here for an example of itab.

You have your own numbered spot in transition and you leave your bike here. When you exit the water in to transition following the swim, get to your bike and before touching it put your helmet on and do it up. Once you have done this you can un-rack your bike and run/walk to bike out. At bike out there will be a mount line (this will be signed and marshalled) and get on your bike. When you have completed your bike, come back to bike in (again this will be signed) and the dismount line, get off your bike and run/walk with your bike back to your spot. Once there, rack your bike and at this point you can unclip your helmet and take it off. From here you run/walk to run out to complete your run.
Transition will be well signed and marshalled. Please fell free to ask marshals for advice.
