We are thrilled to announce the launch of the 2026 Worcester Triathlon Club’s Sprint Distance Triathlon! Taking place on Sunday, 5th July 2026, this exciting race offers athletes of all levels the perfect opportunity to test their endurance and skill across a stunning, varied course in the heart of Worcestershire.

The Course:

• 800m Swim:
• Our single-lap swim takes place in the pristine waters of Arrow Valley Lake, which has achieved certified pass excellent status under the EC Bathing Water Directive (2006/7/EC). It’s a beautiful and safe setting, providing the perfect start to your triathlon journey.
• 20km Bike:
• The bike route will take you on an exhilarating ride through Worcestershire’s scenic lanes. With a mix of undulating and twisting roads, as well as some fast, flat sections, it’s a course designed to challenge and excite. Take in the beautiful countryside as you power through this engaging segment.
• 5km Run:
• The final leg is a predominantly flat 5km run along the picturesque footpaths surrounding Arrow Valley Lake. It’s a fast and friendly course to close out your race, perfect for a strong finish with plenty of spectator support.

Event Details:

• Registration, transition, and finish area: Conveniently located in the field adjacent to the main car park, providing easy access for competitors and spectators alike. Whether you're racing or cheering someone on, you'll be just a stone's throw from the café and bar, making it a perfect spot for post-race relaxation.
• Spectator-friendly: The central location of the transition and finish area offers great vantage points for spectators, making it easy to follow the action and cheer on participants.
