Overview

Get involved in this, 2023 for an historic milestone as we celebrate 40 years since the first ever British Triathlon Championships at our iconic race venue. The Reading Triathlon & Aquathlon was the birthplace of triathlon in the UK, held at the Kirtons Farm Water Sports Centre in 1983. Tri2O Triathlon Club proudly presents the Reading Triathlon, a race organised by triathletes for triathletes. This year, we’re excited to offer six thrilling race options, including a special one-off route recreating the 1983 British Triathlon Short Course Championships. We’re also making exciting changes to the course, including a revised run route. Experience the exhilaration of an open water swim in the beautiful Tri2O lake, followed by a picturesque cycle course through the local lanes of Burghfield, Mortimer, and Grazeley, before finishing with a newly-routed off-road run, taking in the Kennet & Avon Canal, local trails and fields.

This event is part of Reading Triathlon.
