The
Event
The Stratford 220 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. Whilst you are

Stratford a great day out for all the family and a chance for

to offer.
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.
