15 AMAZING RACES TO DO NOW!

The leaves are falling so time to hang up the tri-suit, right? Think again. Whether you want to race your first tri or hit a PB, there are still many essential events to keep you racing into 2018

1f you’ve spent the season hunting PBs, sidelined with injury or building up to a first tri, sometimes the UK tri season just feels too short. Hitting peak form and fitness for that open-water window from late May to September can be a big ask for every level of athlete, especially for Ironman athletes targeting a single date or two on the 2017 calendar. Happily, if you bonked at Bolton, tanked at Tenby or have just bought your first tri-suit, there are still a wide number of tri experiences to take part in before the 2018 season begins.

The races selected here range from £30 pool-swim events to tri holidays, with some classic duathlons and Kona qualification in the mix. Some take place very soon but – if you’re already in shape – spontaneous races can be the most rewarding experience. Others, meanwhile, provide the ultimate triathlon excursion, allowing you to explore a far-flung destination via the means of swim, bike and run. And all under a bright sun. And if you head to our website, we have top tips for tackling the races here. So, what are you waiting for? We’ll see you on the start line at Cozumel in November!
