Bodmin Triathlon | The Dragon

Bodmin Triathlon | The Dragon is scheduled for 23 August 2026 at Bodmin Leisure Centre in Bodmin, Cornwall. The event combines a pool swim at the leisure centre with a rolling bike course and a run that passes through the woodland surrounding Lanhydrock’s Victorian estate.

The event offers two main distance options and afternoon junior races. It is included in the Cornish Tri Series, where overall series awards use a best of four scoring system and require volunteering or bringing a volunteer to at least one event to qualify.

Clubs or schools supplying multiple volunteers can request a donation in lieu of individual credits.
