ATW Bristol Triathlon
The ATW Bristol Triathlon is a multisport event based around Bristol Harbour. The competition utilizes a rolling-start format and adheres to non-drafting rules for the cycling portion. The event features a closed-road course, providing a traffic-free environment for both the bike and run segments.
Participants begin the race with a swim in the Cumberland Basin. This is followed by a cycle along the Portway, passing under the Clifton Suspension Bridge. The final discipline is a run conducted alongside the River Avon. The event is open to participants of various experience levels and includes multiple distance options:
- Sprint Triathlon: 750m swim, 21km bike, 5km run
- Standard Triathlon: 1500m swim, 42km bike, 10km run
- Sprint Aquabike: 750m swim and 21km bike
- Standard Aquabike: 1500m swim and 42km bike
- Standard Relay: 1500m swim, 42km bike, 10km run for teams
The race is well-marked and supported by marshals. All finishers receive a custom-designed medal alongside snacks and goodies at the finish line. While there is no parking directly at the venue in the Cumberland Basin, several parking options are available within the city centre. The event also partners with a charity, providing opportunities for participants to support Alzheimer's Research UK. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
