About the race
Skipton Multisport Festival is a two day multisport event held at Aireville Park and the Skipton Leisure and Wellbeing Hub in Skipton. The programme uses the pool for swims, park paths for runs and roads into the surrounding Yorkshire countryside for bike routes. The event runs across a bank holiday weekend and brings together local clubs and community groups.
Saturday focuses on cycling with two supported sportives and a supervised closed road loop for younger riders. Sunday hosts junior and adult multisport races, including a pool based sprint triathlon and a weekend festival hub with food and entertainment.
