Montgomery Canal Marathon Triathlon

The Montgomery Canal Marathon Triathlon is an endurance event held in Newtown, Powys, along the scenic 27-mile Montgomery Canal route. Participants can cycle, canoe, and walk the full course or choose one or two sections, making it suitable for individuals, families, and groups. The triathlon starts with a 12-mile cycle from Newtown to Whitehouse, followed by a 5-mile canoe segment through Welshpool locks, and finishes with a 10-mile walk to Crickheath Bridge near Oswestry.

The mostly flat course features towpaths, road crossings, and an international border crossing at Llanymynech Bridge. Entrants receive a local slate medallion, and the event supports canal restoration efforts. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
