Shropshire Triathlon : The Mere, Ellesmere
The Shropshire Triathlon takes place at The Mere, Cremorne Gardens, Ellesmere, Shropshire, on Saturday 19th June 2027. The event shares its venue and weekend with the Ultimate Triathlon 150, 100 & 50 and brings together several race formats at the same location.
The course sequence is an open-water swim in the freshwater Mere, a countryside bike section through Shropshire and Welsh roads, and a flat, fully tarmac run course closed to traffic. Registration, swim start, transition and the finish are all close to each other onsite. The Mere was awarded the Green Flag Award for 13 years in a row.
Practical details include official event photography, a finishers medal for every competitor, and limited free camping onsite. Competitor race day information is emailed to entrants 7–10 days before the event; race numbers and stickers are collected at registration on the day.
Wetsuit policy differs by distance: wetsuits are compulsory for the Olympic distance and Olympic relay; for the Sprint and Sprint relay they are recommended but not compulsory. Relay teams of two or three people are permitted, with each member completing one or two disciplines.
