This new and exciting venue is Caldicot, a historic Welsh coastal town situated close to the Severn bridge, easily accessible from South Wales and the South West region of England.

All entrants receive the free quality official race T-shirt and there are prizes for top 3 male and female in both the Fun & Sprint competitions as well as age group prizes in the Sprint Triathlon and general spot prizes.
The Course

The run is around the leisure centre playing fields, the course is 2 laps for The Fun Triathlon and 4 laps for the Sprint and Relay Triathlon. The course is spectator friendly and all the action can be seen at the rear of the Leisure Centre where the main transition area and finish line are situated.
