The York Triathlon returns to York Sport Village and the 2019 UK Triathlon Race Calendar for the sixth year running, with 2 distances to choose from and the option to enter as an individual or relay team.

The triathlon starts with a swim in the heated indoor pool, follows on with a flat multi-lapped bike course and finishes with a run.

This spectator friendly venue is perfect for crowds to cheer on competitors and create a fun & relaxed atmosphere so, whether participating or supporting, get colleagues, friends and family involved, take on the challenge and join in the fun.

The event is aimed at all abilities, at all levels of fitness, from complete novice to club and pro triathlete, as well as charity and fun competitors.

We welcome & want to encourage all women to have a go! Any age, any abilities. High 5's, cheers, and a lot of pink guaranteed!

Volunteers

Community Volunteer Scheme
How to be involved
We offer a Community Volunteer Scheme, whereby one free* race place up to the value of an Olympic distance entry is given in return for a day’s marshaling at any one of the UK Triathlon series of events. This role can be undertaken by yourself (the competitor), a friend or family member who would like to support you.

*The ‘Community Volunteer Scheme’ entry fee has a value of up to the cost of an Olympic distance entry meaning that most of the race places are free.

Requirement and responsibilities
All volunteers have one key role during the triathlon and that is to cheer on and encourage competitors during their special day. In addition to this volunteers can be involved in any one of roles below:

Registration
Feed Station
Swim course volunteer
Bike Course volunteer
Run Course Volunteer
Transition area
Finish line area
We typically ask volunteers to arrive around 7/8am on the day they are helping out, for a briefing and breakfast, with an aim to be finished by 3/4pm (this can be earlier depending on event /circumstance).

All volunteers are provided with food and drink to make sure they are fully prepared for their fun and enjoyable day ahead.

Volunteer as a Group

Whether a local sports club, charity organisation, community group or group of friends we would love your help and commitment to come along and join us at any of our races across the UK.

Over 90% of the UK Triathlon race crew are volunteers, many of them have been with us for over 15 years and without their support and dedication, these events would not run.

My first Triathlon. I've completed many cycle events and this event was very well organised and a great intro in to Triathlon. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the encouragement from the crowd. Great day.
