Lake 62 is a privately owned, well-kept lake in the Cotswolds. This lake is exclusively used, keeping it one of the finest. Its size and shape allow for some great spectating at all the events here, and provide a base for triathletes wishing to take part in a medium-sized event on a flat profile. It’s a compact event site so you can see most of the action without having to walk too far.

Great event. First standard triathlon. Leanne J

Very friendly atmosphere, very well organised. It was my first triathlon and I got plenty of directions and support from staff, spectators and other participants. Oliwia W

Great event as always from LPS. Lake 62 is a great lake for racing and the weeds are part and parcel of British summer lake swimming. Patrick

Weed grows in lakes when the weather is hot. This is not a race directors fault. Rachel B
