Sri Chinmoy Try-a-Tri, Tockington Manor School : 2 August 2026
The Sri Chinmoy Try-a-Tri is a Swim Bike Run Mini triathlon held at Tockington Manor School, north of Bristol. It is presented as an entry-level event within the Swim-Bike-Run series and runs under British Triathlon rules with certification by the British Triathlon Federation.
Distances for the event:
- 200 m swim in a heated 25 m indoor pool
- 10 km bike on a mostly flat two-loop course
- 3 km run on sports pitches, five laps
The swim takes place in a 25 m heated pool, requiring eight lengths. Lanes are limited to four swimmers at a time and swimmers are grouped by speed. Frontal strokes such as freestyle and breaststroke are permitted; backstroke is not allowed.
The bike course uses quiet, scenic minor roads and consists of two 5 km laps with total ascent of less than 50 m. Any safe, roadworthy bike may be used. The run is an easy, flat course on the school sports pitches and is laid out over multiple laps.
The event is described as beginner focused and part of an SBR-Mini series that typically limits entries to around 50 to 100 competitors. Youth entrants aged 15 or older in the event year are permitted. The course is not suitable for younger triathletes or for para-tri competitors due to pool access and run course constraints. Organisers provide regular guidance and advice for entrants preparing for the race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
