Birmingham Triathlon - Sutton Park
The event takes place at Boldmere Gate, Sutton Park, Sutton Coldfield, using Powell's Pool for the open water swim and routes inside the park for cycling and running. The venue was used for the Commonwealth Games triathlon in 2022.
The race uses closed to traffic roads for the cycle laps and run routes that pass through heathland and ancient woodland. Timing is electronic chip based and all finishers receive an official medal. Relay teams may consist of two or three people; each team member completes one or two disciplines and transfers the electronic chip in transition. Wetsuit rules differ by distance: a wetsuit is compulsory for the Olympic and Olympic Relay distances and recommended for the other distances.
Full competitor race day information, including race numbers and start times, is emailed to entrants 7 to 10 days before the event. Race packs are collected at registration on the day. Age minimums on race day are listed for each category.
