Following the success of the inaugural Castles Challenge Junior Triathlons held for the first time in 2012, this event is now to become a permanent fixture for the Castles Challenge Triathlon series. The events features a sea swim, followed by a cycle and run on grass. This is a fantastic opportunity for junior triathletes to experience competing in an event with an open water sea swim with full safety cover. The races will commence at 12pm on Saturday 27th July, prior to the 5pm Adult Sprint Triathlon.

There will be food, drinks & family entertainment throughout the day and the Adult Sprint Race will be taking place at 5pm. This will be an exciting day for both competitors & spectators.

There is a distance of approximately 300m from the exit of the swim to Transition, so the length of the run courses have been adjusted to reflect this long transition. For the younger competitors taking part, parents/guardians/adults may accompany (but not assist) the competitors from the exit of the swim up to the entrance of Transition. Wetsuits are compulsory.
