Woodhorn Museum Triathlon Weekend 2026
The Woodhorn Museum Triathlon Weekend takes place on 4 and 5 July 2026 at Woodhorn Museum and QE2 Country Park in Ashington, England. The event is organised by VO2 Max Events. The open water swim uses the warm, shallow freshwater QE2 lake. The bike route leads out from the museum toward the coastal road and Cresswell village. The run follows a footpath through woodland and open grassland and passes the museum finish line on each lap. The site has previously hosted national and international age group qualifiers and championships in 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024.
