Now approaching its 8th year this family-friendly triathlon has the swim section at the new swimming pool at Brackley Leisure Centre (due to open summer 2018) with transition area immediately outside. The junior events cater for kids age 8 and up with fully enclosed traffic-free bike and run.

Adults choose a one or two lap 14 or 28km bike course and a one or two laps 2.5 or 5km run course, both taking in the beauty of Brackley and surrounding villages and countryside.

The Marlow Classic Half Iron Distance is the only long distance event in the Thames Valley. a fairly flat scenic course taking in the views of Marlow and the surrounding areas.
The Bike course for the Sprint Distance is 24.5km & the Olympic Distance is 37km. It is an out and back course and only has two hills, but otherwise fast and flat.
