Hardingstone Sprint Triathlon 2026

The Hardingstone Sprint Triathlon begins with a 400m swim in Northampton High School’s 25m pool. Competitors then transition to a 20km bike ride and a 5km run through villages south of Northampton. Shorter options include the Super Sprint and Beginner Tri (200m swim, 10km bike, 2.5km run), and an Aquabike (swim and bike only). Enduro Team organizes this end-of-season event, which can host up to 1000 participants. The bike course exits the school and passes through Hardingstone, Wootton, and Salcey Forest before returning via Horton and Hackleton. The 5km run is an out-and-back route, allowing participants to see each other during the race. Now in its third year, the event caters to both beginners and experienced athletes, accepts two or three-person relay teams, and awards a custom medal to all finishers.
