Event overview

Roadford Lake is such a superb triathlon venue that a second autumn date, an aquathlon and its first ever Iron Distance Tri have been added.

It's a great swimming venue with quiet rolling roads for the bike course and a cracking run too. You start with a swim in the lake, where swimming is not normally permitted, then it's onto the quiet local roads for the one, two or four lap bike leg. Finally, it's a one or two-lap run mainly on gravel paths. 

There's also lakeside camping available, but it sells out fast, so early booking is advised. Come and enjoy the weekend!

Great event for participants and spectators. Staff always friendly and supportive. Dawn T

What a great day of triathlon. A very well run event in a stunning location. All potential course hazard were addressed in the pre-race brief. Shaun C

Absolutely fantastic event, very well run, great atmosphere, incredible location, good selection of distances to choose from and great that aquabike was included. Only suggestion would be to have finish line infront of cafe where majority of spectators were. Well done Sportiva for another fantastic event. Looking forward to September at Roadford. Paul B

Stunning venue. The lake swim was brilliant and there were an amazing number of water safety team members on kayaks, paddle boards and motor boats. Excellent registration which we collected the day before and checked out the run and bike route. Friendly staff and marshals all the way round the course. The bike was beautiful and challenging with lots of hills and well marked. The run was a brilliant mix of hilly trails and tarmac with fantastic support from spectators. Excellent finish goodies as well as plenty of snacks and water to help us celebrate our achievement. Easy parking with plenty of loos. This tri is a must and they offer a variety of distances.
