With no fewer than 16 race choices on offer, over 7000 triathletes ventured to Hever Castle in September 2015, with entries increasing for the seventh year running. To cement the race’s title as the world’s largest children’s triathlon, a whopping 2000 youth athletes signed up for September. As in 2015, the children’s races will be split over two days (8-10 year olds on Saturday afternoon and 11-15 year olds on Sunday afternoon).

For 2016, the Gauntlet Half Iron Distance will be back with a vengence; over 700 signed up for the perfect September autumn day in 2015. For the second year running the long-distance Bastion is returning to Hever Castle on Sunday 10 July, along with the new festival of endurance, offering long distance Aquathlons, Aquabikes and Swims.

The races will again commence with an open-water swim in the spectacular 38 acre Hever Castle Lake and River Eden, transitioning into the undulating cycle that takes athletes around a circuit through the High Weald of Kent, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and up to the stunning Ashdown forest for the longer distance races. The largely off-road run circumnavigates the estate and award-winning castle grounds before athletes make the dash to the tree-lined finishing chute beside the lake.
