West Midlands Triathlon (formerly The Birmingham Triathlon)
The West Midlands Triathlon takes place at King Edward’s School, Edgbaston Park Road, Birmingham on Saturday 7 August 2027. The swim is in a heated indoor pool. The cycle uses an arena-style grass circuit with clear post-and-tape markings; the course is lapped, traffic free and has some undulation. The run is also on lapped grass sections.
The event offers electronic chip timing and an official finisher medal for all entrants. Competitors must count their own pool lengths and their own bike and run laps. Wearing a cycle helmet on the bike section is compulsory. Race numbers, stickers and wristbands are collected at registration on the day; race day information and individual start times are emailed to competitors 7–10 days before the event.
On-site facilities include hot and cold food, refreshments, toilets, and open spaces suitable for spectators and family use. A relay option is available for teams of two or three; each team member completes one or two disciplines and the electronic chip is passed between teammates in the transition area. Children’s race options are run separately for ages 5–18.
