Reading Triathlon 2026

The Reading Triathlon begins and ends at Kirtons Farm Water Sports Centre, the site of the UK's first triathlon. Tri2O Triathlon Club organizes the event, which offers practical race options: sprint and standard triathlons, a sprint relay triathlon, a sprint aquathlon, or a standard aquabike. The swim takes place in the Hi5 Open Water Swim Centre. The bike course covers local roads through Burghfield, Mortimer, Silchester, Stratfield Saye, and Grazeley, with the run following a lakeside trail. Tri2O emphasizes its club-driven nature, stating it's run by triathletes for triathletes. The event's commitment to sustainability is evident in its specific choices: no automatic finisher T-shirts, no plastic cups at aid stations, and participants are expected to use their own swim hats or purchase one during registration.
