Windermere Triathlons & Multisport Weekend
The event takes place on Saturday 10 July and Sunday 11 July 2027 at Cockshott Point, Glebe Road, Bowness-on-Windermere, Cumbria (postcode LA23 3GZ). Races use Lake Windermere for the swim and local roads and shoreline paths for the bike and run sections. Bike routes pass through Ambleside; Novice and Sprint routes loop back while Standard riders circle the entire lake.
This is a permitted British Triathlon event. Competitors who are not British Triathlon members must purchase a day race pass. Race categories include Female and Open; only people who are female sex at birth may enter the Female category, while the Open category is available to all other entrants.
Wetsuits are expected to be optional but are recommended for comfort and buoyancy, especially for less experienced swimmers. A secure Transition Area is provided for triathletes; race and bike numbers correspond to racking positions, competitors must show race numbers to enter, and bike numbers and helmets must be visible before entry. Bib and bike numbers will be checked before equipment can be removed after racing.
Live chip timing is used, provided by Timing Up North. Parking is available around Cockshott Point and Glebe Road and is payable by app or at machines. All finishers receive a bespoke event medal, Wild Deer merchandise (a buff or water bottle), and a drink and snack.
