Event overview
The venue is private and specifically hired for the purpose of a traffic-free triathlon and swimming events.
Flat and very, very fast! Dorney Lake is renowned for its traffic-free, smooth tarmac course. It is the perfect setting for first-time racers and more experienced athletes alike.
I absolutely love this event and venue. The staff could not have been more helpful for my first ever triathlon!

Everything about the event was fantastic. I was a first timer, completed it with my daughter although we had different start times and loved every minute of it. Lovely atmosphere and good to be a part of. David P
I cannot fault this race. My family love it too as they can bring a picnic and see me on all three disciplines without moving. Perfect spectator event - not one for the locals though. Hayley M
Excellent organisation. Very flat and safe course so can easily do a PB. SD
A nice swim in the 2012 Olympic rowing course, an almost flat bike and run course means this is a place you could easily set a new PB (providing the wind isn't like a wall hitting you as you come round for the second half of the bike, like it did last weekend!). Friendly and efficient registration, transition and marshalling - and good natured support from a fairly sparse crowd - made this an enjoyable race. Bonus was being able to park near the start and easy access to T1 and T2. Definitely want to do more at this venue...something that many fellow competitors agreed with! Colin M
