Event Details

Set in the heart of Cheshire’s scenic countryside, this expertly organised event offers a welcoming atmosphere, beginner-friendly outdoor pool swim, and an unforgettable experience for athletes of all abilities.

You’ll start with a refreshing 200m outdoor pool swim at Nantwich Leisure Centre, in a safe and supportive environment. Next, take on a scenic 20km cycle through the beautiful Cheshire countryside, before finishing with a 2.5km run on a flat course that’s perfect for all abilities.

With its countryside bike route, beginner-friendly swim, and welcoming atmosphere, the Cheshire Triathlon is designed for everyone, whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned athlete looking for a memorable race day.

The Cheshire Triathlon is also part of the UK Triathlon Cancer Research UK Wave, a wave dedicated to raising money for Cancer Research UK. The Cancer Research UK Wave encourages participants, of any age, gender or ability, to unite and take on a challenge that will help fund life-saving research into over 200 types of cancer.
