    The Grafman Middle Distance Triathlon is a well-established triathlon within the community. 

    The start, the swim, much of the run and the finish are all conveniently located together, making excellent spectator viewing at Grafham Water Reservoir.  The swim takes place in the lake consisting of a two lap course that is easy to navigate; a quick Australian style exit on each lap makes a great spectacle for your family/friends to support you from. The roads around the villages offer great surfaces for fast riding and only the odd short climb to challenge you. The bike course will be fast, but don’t underestimate it – especially if it’s a windy day!

    On returning to Grafham Water, you will conquer the multi-lap run course around the edge of the lake comprising of both tarmac and hard compound tracks.

    There is plenty of on-site camping as well as excellent local hotels and B&Bs just two to three miles down the road. There are thousands of car parking spaces available; making this is the perfect athlete and spectator experience.

    Sundried will be at the event providing all competitors with goody bags with additional treats from our partners.

    Reading boasts being the birthplace of triathlon, with the first ever event being held there in 1983. The event was reborn in 2010 and is now in its seventh year. 

    The event could be known as "The 110% triathlon" as the bike and run sections are 10% over the standard distances, but the organisers see it as you getting more for your money!

    The Olympic Distance swim will be a 2 loop course and the Sprint Distance race will be a single loop. 

    The bike course starts on a closed road from the hotel grounds before heading out into some beautiful Berkshire countryside; it’s gently undulating but no more than that! For the Sprint you’ll complete one lap of 22km and it’s two 22km laps for the Standard Distance.

    The run is 3 laps around a lovely lakeside trail for the Sprint event and 6 laps for the Standard distance. 

    Sundried will be providing all event competitors with goodie bags which include additional treats from trusted businesses.

    Location: Perry, Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, PE28 0BX

    Event Type and distance:

    Sprint Duathlon:       5km run / 20km bike / 5km run

    Amenities: Chip timing, camping, prizes, secure transition

    Entry Price:

    The Anglian Water Duathlons are two of the first of the season and give racers a chance to break out of the winter hibernation and get moving. The picturesque setting in Cambridgeshire attracts first-timers as well as those that have raced for national titles and Great Britain Age-Group qualification slots over the years.

    This is a race for everyone and suited to all abilities. Whether you’re doing the sprint or the standard distance, you’ll race along the tracks around the lake and woodland and enjoy one of the most picturesque settings for a duathlon that you are ever likely to race on. Both run sections take place on hard compound tracks and feature steady climbs at the outset, which means you’ll be running downhill to the first transition and the finishing line. The bike course is along some of the smoothest roads. The long stretches will allow you to test your speed and the hill climbing will allow you to test your strength.
