Thoroughly enjoyed my first Standard Triathlon. Staff and marshals were amazing and supportive. Swim was in a beautiful lake, bike was well signed and run was flat and fast. Great medal and wide selection of goodies. Jamie

Exceptionally well organised events. Brilliant friendly and supportive staff. Great course swim, bike and run. Felt very safe and taken care of by the crew. Great atmosphere. An event to do every year. Elaine H
