York Triathlon - York Sport Village
York Triathlon takes place at York Sport Village on the university Heslington campus on Sunday 22 August 2027. The swim uses a large heated indoor pool; one pool length is 25 m. Competitors must count their own pool lengths and laps on the bike and run.
The event format combines a pool-based swim, a multi-lap flat bike course on fully closed roads, and a lapped flat run course closed to the public and traffic. The swim start, transition area and finish are all in close proximity. The event is electronically chip timed and an official finisher medal is provided to all entrants. There are no cut off times and wearing a cycle helmet on the bike section is compulsory.
Relay teams may consist of two or three people. Each team member completes one or two disciplines and passes the electronic chip in the transition area; team members may cross the finish line together. Awards are given for first place in the Female Relay and first place in the Open/Mixed Relay.
A Cancer Research UK (CRUK) Wave is offered; £10 from each CRUK Wave entry will be donated to Cancer Research UK. A separate kids fun triathlon for 5 to 16 year olds is held on Saturday. Full competitor race day information, including race numbers, is emailed 7–10 days before the event and race materials are collected at on-day registration.
