THE BISHOPTON TRIATHLON 

Saturday 3rd August 2025 | North East Wake Park, Bishopton

--------------------- 

Start your triathlon journey with us Bishopton Lake, home of the North East Wake Park. This venue offers a great opportunity for beginners to test their grit as the lake is shallow allowing for participants to stand across the majority of the lake swim course. 

The shallow nature of the lake means the water temperature will climb quickly meaning you dont have to brave the brrr and you can relax and enjoy at your own pace. Our fast and flowing cycle route features parts of the British Cycle Series course as well as being used for TT events and the British Championships so you can check your strava segments post race to see how you did. 

Swim

Swim in the shallow and clear open water man-made lake within Bishopton North East Wake Park. The water depth is no more than 5ft, giving entrants the option to stand if needed. This venue is also well sheltered from winds, meaning the water is flat and beginner friendly.

Cycle

The bike portion of this race has triathletes take on a flat and potentially fast open road course around the local villages. Very few turns and flowing fast roads will make for good times.

Run

The mixed course of road and trail around the local parish council villages creates a spectator friendly route to keep you going when you need it most, if the spectators haven't taken in one of the great pubs on route that is.  

To participate in this event, you are required to become a member of British Triathlon and hold a race licence. You must either become a Core or Ultimate annual member here https://www.britishtriathlon.org/join or purchase a single use Race Pass for your race when purchasing your event ticket.
