Reading Triathlon, Aquathlon & Aquabike
The Reading Triathlon, organised by Tri2O Triathlon Club, takes place on 12 September 2027 at the H2O Swim Centre lake and surrounding roads. The event offers multiple race formats including triathlon, aquathlon and aquabike at several distances and relay options. The race is a British Triathlon permitted event and supports local charities Sport in Mind and Women in Tri UK.
Race options and distances:
- Super Sprint: 400 m swim, 12 km cycle, 1.8 km run

The swim takes place in open water at the lake. Both Sprint and Standard cycle routes are single loops through local lanes including Burghfield, Mortimer, Silchester, Bramley, Stratfield Saye and Grazeley. The run finishes with an off‑road lakeside lap. Event services include chip timing, kayak water safety on the swim, marshalled and signed routes with GPX files, mechanical support, on‑site food and coffee, a wooden finisher medal and free race photos. Parking is provided at nearby Green Park, approximately 1.6 km from transition, with a small suggested parking contribution that supports the event charities.
