About
Enjoy the scenic grounds of Belvoir Castle in this multi-sport weekend for the whole family. Test your open water swimming in the estate's very own lake, cycle through the undulating countryside, and run through the castle's iconic grounds. Like last year, this is highly likely to sell out and we assure you that you won't want to miss out on what is quickly becoming one of the most challenging and iconic triathlons in the UK.
Kid's Aquathlon Youth A (age 15-16), Kid's Aquathlon Youth B (age 17), Kid's Aquathlon Tristar 3 (age 13-14), and 16 more

Route information
The transition area is nestled in the grounds looking up to the grand Belvoir Castle.
The Lake Swim: The open water swim takes place in a calm lake at the foot of the Estate with sights up to the castle, the swim is a multi lap swim. The swim is also perfect for those new to open water triathlon as you're never too far away from the lakes edge or your supporters. All competitors will be placed in start wave groups which will be confirmed closer to the date of the event.
Bike: All distances (other than the Super Sprint) is a multi-lap course with a challenging undulating profile through the idyllic vale of Belvoir villages. There are one or two sharp and gradual inclines that prove a good test of mental, physical strength and determination but you will be well rewarded with a route of discovery through quaint villages and quiet country roads.
The Super Sprint bike leg is one undulating lap.
