If you’re new to triathlon, just starting your fitness journey or returning after injury, you may be tentative about signing up for the full sprint distance. That’s where our new Try-a-Tri comes in!
This half-distance event is ideal for first-timers, and you’ll benefit from the same warm Mid Sussex welcome. You'll complete a shorter version of our course at a discounted price, giving you a chance to test yourself before entering the main race.
- A 200m swim - that's 8 lengths of the pool in total.
- We've devised a shorter 15km bike loop on quiet country lanes.
- The 2.5km run follows the same out-and-back route as the main triathlon run, turning after 1.25km.
