Bassetlaw Sprint Triathlon 16 August 2026
We have some very exciting changes for 2026!
We have a new location!!! The 2026 Bassetlaw Sprint Triathlon will be based in the beautiful grounds of Worksop College.
We have a new start time!!! You will get a lie in. The event will take place in the afternoon.
We have a new event!!! We are introducing the Bassetlaw Sprint Duathlon, which will be run at the same time as the triathlon, starting with a mass start for the first run. Don't fancy the swim? Then this is for you!!
The sprint triathlon consists of a 400m pool swim, 23km bike and a 5km run. The sprint duathlon consists of a 5km run, 23km bike and a 2.5km run.
Our club organised event is suitable for everyone, from complete novices to seasoned athletes. You don't need any fancy kit or an expensive bike to take part, as long as it is roadworthy and has working brakes, you can ride a bike that has a basket on the front. You don't even have to do it on your own, you can team up with a couple of friends and make a relay team.
Location: Worksop College, Cuthberts Avenue, S80 3AP
