Essex Triathlons - Hanningfield Reservoir
The Essex Triathlons at Hanningfield Reservoir offer a scenic multisport event set in mature woodland surrounding the 870-acre reservoir between Billericay and Chelmsford. Participants swim in the reservoir's clear waters, cycle on quiet roads, and run flat trail paths through woodland. Distances include Sprint (750m swim, 25km cycle, 5km run) and Standard (1500m swim, 38km cycle, 10km run) triathlons, plus aquabike and open water swim options.
The event suits all abilities with no cut-off times and features secure transition areas, live chip timing, free parking, and finishers receive medals and refreshments. The reservoir is a protected Site of Special Scientific Interest, enhancing the event's natural atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
