Abersoch Triathlon

The Menai Holiday Cottages ABERSOCH Triathlon takes place on Saturday 21st June 2025 in the stunning North Wales seaside town of Abersoch. There's Olympic and Sprint distances to choose from, with exceptional courses that will both challenge and inspire you, a reason why this event is many people's favourite.

This event starts with a sea swim, in Abersoch's sheltered bay, the bike route is a 20km lap for the sprint distance and 2 laps of the same course for the Olympic distance, closed off in sections to the traffic. The run takes in the unique terrain of part beach, part trail and part road, with both races boasting that picture-book finish on Abersoch beach.

Great race support throughout the course, all the pro race assets you would expect from a big triathlon event, and a memorable atmosphere with music and beach bar to enhance your post race celebrations.
