Sundowner Triathlon at Allerthorpe Lakeland Park
The Sundowner Triathlon takes place on 12 September 2026 at Allerthorpe Lakeland Park, Pocklington, York. The event offers multiple race formats over open-water swim, road cycling and lakeside trail running. Organisers report that the 2025 edition returned the event to the calendar and that lessons from that year informed changes for 2026.
The swim takes place in a shallow, clear, man-made lake with depths of approximately 5 to 7 feet. The venue is sheltered from wind and the water is typically flat. The bike leg uses quiet country lanes around the park and nearby villages; the course is open to traffic, well signed and non-draft legal. The run follows a flat trail around the lake and has been adjusted this year to avoid the canal tow path.
