The
Event
The Warwickshire Triathlon is a fun but challenging event
set around the historic town of Stratford-upon-Avon. 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. All entrants receive the
free quality official race T-shirt and there are prizes
for top 3 male and female in both the Fun & Sprint competitions
as well as age group prizes in the Sprint Triathlon and
general spot prizes.
The
Course
The race starts from the 33 metre heated indoor pool in
the leisure centre, followed by a one lap fast flat cycle
course which heads out towards the town of Warwick, in the
Warwickshire countryside, before returning to Stratford
for the final discipline. The run is out alongside the picturesque
river Avon and back to the Leisure and Visitor Centre to
the finish line. The run course is once out and back for
The Fun Triathlon and twice out and back for the Sprint
and Relay Triathlon. The course is spectator friendly and
all the action can be seen at the rear of the Leisure Centre
where the main transition area and finish line are situated.
Getting
there & staying over
The venue is just 5 miles off the M40 at junction 15, follow
the signs for Stratford-upon-Avon and look for the Leisure
and Visitor Centre as you approach the town (it is on the
left hand side). Parking is available in the pay and display
at the centre at very reasonable charges, (also ideal for
shopping and sight seeing!). There are ample toilets, showers
and baby changing facilities at the centre. There is a cafe,
and restaurant serving a selection of hot and cold meals
and beverages. For a brochure on accommodation to fit your
