Cowman Triathlon
The Cowman Triathlon takes place at Emberton Country Park in Milton Keynes. It offers multiple race formats across three main distances: Cowman (Middle Distance), Calfman (Standard Distance), and Stampede (Sprint Distance). Additional options include Aquabike, Aquathlon, and Bike/Run events.
The event features open-water swims, cycle routes, and run courses set within the park. Participant amenities include a fully marked route with marshal support, medical support on course, chip timing, live online results, a finisher's medal, an optional t-shirt, and finish line refreshments. Professional photography is available.
