Please note: This event is limited to 100 competitors so early entry is highly recommended.

Our 2023 race information pack with important information, FAQs and course details from last year is available on our website http://www.cheltenhamtri.org.uk 

Bike:  The 10km cycle is entirely off-road circumnavigating the perimeter of the park. The course does not require technical mountain bike expertise (or bravery!) however an off-road, mountain or hybrid bike is recommended. The course will be 5 laps around the park and pitch and putt golf course. 

Run:  The single lap run is off-road and mixed terrain (mainly grass) it is approx 2.5km around the park and will be an enjoyable end to the race! 

The Junior Event Details:

Last year this event sold out - early entry is highly recommended!

Please note: ALL child entrants MUST be able to swim the distance specified in their age group category confidently using breaststroke or front crawl strokes only.

We would love to let all children have a go at our race however due to the safety of all of our competitors we must ask parents/guardians to ensure that children are able to exit the pool, find and collect their bicycle (on their own) and confidently cycle and run around the course. Children will have timing chips attached to their ankles (as the adults do) and in line with BTF rules must understand and be able to count their own lengths/laps.

We do, of course, have plenty of friendly marshals in the pool area, on the course and in transition to help direct, support, cheer on and aid the children whenever needed! Children will be well briefed at the start of the race and we welcome spectators encouraging competitors (providing spectators remaim outside of the course).

Start Times:

Children will race within their age group categories and races will start at staggered times. Youngest age-groups racing first.

Age Groups:

The minimin age for the Junior Triathlon is 8 years old at 31st December 2024.

These age groups are based upon the age of a competitor on the 31st December 2024. For example...

If the child’s 9th birthday is in December they will race in Tristar 1 : 9/10 years category - even though they are only 8 years old at the time of racing in July.

This is a British Triathlon rule - if you would like more information on BTF age-group categories please visit the British Triathlon website: https://www.britishtriathlon.org/south-central/junior-series/information-and-distances

The Youth Category competitors who are 15 or 16 years old on 31st December 2024 will race in the adult race. Please sign up to the Tri In The Park Adult Triathlon.
