The First Tri Lydney - Lydney, Gloucestershire
The First Tri Lydney is an indoor pool based triathlon at Freedom Leisure Centre in the Forest of Dean. The event offers Sprint and Olympic distance formats using a 25 m heated pool, a secure transition area, a left-turn-only bike route, and a scenic run route. Finishers receive a medal and prize categories are split by male and female.
Distances offered include:
- Sprint: 400 m pool swim; bike about 20–23 km; 5 km run
- Olympic: 750 m pool swim; bike about 38–42 km; 10 km run
There are individual and relay entry options. Parking is free and available on site. Registration opens on the morning of the event and competitors are asked to register before racking their bikes and at least 30 minutes before their swim slot. A poolside race briefing is held when race chips are issued, and competitors should be on poolside before their swim time. Course maps for the bike and run are published in advance so participants can familiarise themselves with the routes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
