The East Grinstead Triathlon | Try-a-Tri

After a 400 m pool swim at Kings Leisure Centre, you will cycle 26 km on an undulating and scenic route through the villages of Forest Row and Hartfield, before running 5 km (two laps) around East Grinstead town to finish. Our shorter Try-a-Tri event is open to both Female and Open categories, providing the opportunity for everyone to build their race confidence with this shorter format. Many of our female club members took their first steps on their triathlon journey at our Try-a-Tri before progressing to standard distance and even iron-distance events. *The same course is used for our Youth race and please note that our Youth Race is for competitors 15-19 years old only. The Try-a-Tri event starts with a 200 m (8 lengths) pool swim and it doesn't matter how long it takes you - we will provide all the encouragement and support you need. You will then cycle 11 km though the village of Ashurst Wood before setting out on a 2.5km run around the scenic town of East Grinstead with marshals cheering you all the way to get you across that finish line. Back by popular demand, the Sprint Aquabike format returns for 2024. This features the 400m swim and 26km bike of the Sprint Tri, providing the opportunity to compete if you are struggling with run injury or running is just not your thing!
