West Midlands Triathlon
The West Midlands Triathlon takes place at King Edward’s School, Edgbaston Park Road, Birmingham. The event on Saturday 7th August 2027 uses an indoor heated pool for the swim and grass circuits for both the cycle and run legs. The cycle circuit is lapped, traffic free and marked with post-and-tape; it is generally flat with some undulation. A cycle helmet is compulsory. Electronic chip timing is used and all finishers receive an official medal.
The event offers four individual distances and a sprint relay option. All adult races are open from age 14 on race day.
- Sprint Triathlon: 400m swim, 6km grass circuit cycle, 5km run
- Venture Triathlon: 200m swim, 5km grass circuit cycle, 3km run
- Endeavour Triathlon: 150m swim, 4km grass circuit cycle, 2km run
- Fun Challenge Triathlon: 100m swim, 3km grass circuit cycle, 1km run
Relay teams can consist of two or three people, with each member completing one or two disciplines. Relay exchanges use the electronic chip and take place inside the cycle transition area. Competitors must count their own pool lengths and laps on the bike and run. Event facilities include food and refreshments, toilets and open spaces suitable for spectators and families. Competitor race day information and individual start times are issued by email 7–10 days before the event and race packs are collected on the day.
