NEW JUNIOR OPEN WATER TRIATHLON EVENT AT LENCHES LAKES

The inaugural event, which will go ahead on Sunday, June 7th 2026, is dedicated to junior triathletes and offers a unique experience to compete in a highly sought after location.

Competitors will swim in the venue’s acclaimed open water lake, cycle on an off road bike course before completing the final run on a grass and trail track.

Natasha Dent, Event Director, said: “Lenches Lakes is a beautiful venue and the perfect place to try triathlon and open water swimming for the first time. We aim to provide a fun, safe and inclusive event for first timers, whilst equally providing exciting opportunities for those that have more experience racing.” 

The event is open to age groups from TriStarStart (age 7-8) to Tristar 3 (age 13-14) and costs £20/25 each. Entrants should be confident swimmers and capable of swimming their required category distance.

Unique medals will be provided for all participants, plus prizes for both male and female podium finishers. The Co-Op will also provide water and refreshments for those that complete the event.
