Sri Chinmoy Try-a-Tri - 2022

About the event

Our Try-a-Tri event is tailor-made for beginners, especially first-timers, at the sport of triathlon. With manageable "GO TRI" distances and the combination of a heated-pool swim and fairly flat bike and run courses, the Sri Chinmoy Try-a-Tri is a great way to get a taste of the UK's fastest growing endurance sport.

For 2022 we are running the event as part of the GO TRI initiative in partnership with British Triathlon and we have a new race venue - Tockington Manor School just north of Bristol. As well as having a wonderful 25m heated pool, Tockington Manor gives us access to a scenic bike route on mostly flat roads (many of which are designated cycle routes) and an easy run on the school sports field. GO TRI events are limited to 50 entrants and have a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere for first-timers, so if you want to try a tri for the first time, this event is for you!

We are planning for a Covid-secure event so number pickup and briefing will all be outdoors, each wave of only 12 people will arrive at their designated time, stow their bikes and kit, grab their race numbers and be guided to the pool where only 3 swimmers will be in each 25m lane and the start will be staggered to ensure social distancing. Transition will be set up to keep everyone distanced when racking their bike or completing their swim-to-bike transition. 

Although it's a low-cost and low key event, this GO TRI event is a proper triathlon and entrants will have completed a genuine Tri when they cross the finish line!
