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.

Why participate for Cancer Research UK?

Meet Rika

My favourite moment was the Cancer Research UK cheer point, where my beautiful daughter and incredible husband were cheering me on!

- Rika

Rika joined Team Cancer Research UK in 2025, running in memory of her Mum.

"I relied on Cancer Research UK to learn more about breast cancer when my mum was diagnosed. Educating myself was a productive way to try and process everything. I eventually lost my mum to breast cancer in March 2020. It was a no brainer when it came to choosing a charity to raise money for. My mum was a gym bunny, so I thought she’d find it funny that I was going to be running in her memory. I enjoyed every single mile."
