Royal Wootton Bassett Triathlon 2027
The Royal Wootton Bassett Triathlon returns for its thirteenth year on Sunday 9 May 2027 in the market town of Royal Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire. The race is a sprint-format triathlon staged using a local leisure centre pool for the swim, quiet country roads for the cycle leg, and an out-and-back road for the run.
Distances:
- 400 m pool swim in the local leisure centre
- 22 km flat, scenic bike route around surrounding villages
- 5 km fast, flat out-and-back run towards the local rugby club
The event maintains a charitable focus. Past editions have donated over £38,000 to local charities, including Wiltshire Air Ambulance, the British Heart Foundation, Alzheimer’s Society and Stroke Association. All profits from 2027 race entry fees will be donated to Wiltshire Air Ambulance.
An event village will include exhibitors, retailers, food stands, music and coaching experts. Participant services listed by the organisers include medals for all finishers, chip timing, water stations, live online results, an award presentation, professional first aid cover, and facilities such as toilets and parking. There is also an opportunity to purchase an event T-shirt. Route information for the cycle leg is available via a GPX file and a timelapse video referenced by the organisers.
