WINNER - WEST MIDLANDS SMALL EVENT OF THE YEAR 2022

Herefordshire's traditional super sprint triathlon has been organised by Hereford Triathlon Club for three decades. It's an ideal race for beginners and people who are having a go at triathlon for the first time. In 2024 the race will once again take place at Leominster Leisure Centre.  

The event will be held under the guidance of British Triathlon and with the permission of Herefordshire Council, West Mercia Police, Halo Leisure and the Earl Mortimer College. In order to keep the competitors, volunteers, staff and local people safe and reassured, it’s essential for everybody to abide by the necessary rules and guidance. These will be provided in advance of the race.

You will start in waves of 6 swimmers who will be allocated staggered times 5 minutes apart from 0900. The start times will be arranged according to your estimated swim speed and the start list will be published in the week before the race. 

We can guarantee you a beautiful course through the Herefordshire countryside, friendly marshals, a simple well-marked route, chip timing and lots of vocal support. 

The race is organised by the members of Hereford Triathlon Club and we aim to make it as relaxed and friendly as possible.  Any money that we make gets used to help the club run throughout the year.

You'll start by swimming 400 metres in the indoor pool before heading to transition next door at the Earl Mortimer College.

The 11-12 mile bike course is undulating but fast and you'll head out of town and towards Bromyard on the A44, turning around 5-6 miles in and ready for the downhill section!

Back to the school and the 5k run takes you around the town of Leominster including some of the historic sites before finishing at the school.

An ideal race for beginners, novices and those wanting a super fast sprint.
