So approachable and helpful and great courses. I am 66 and a beginner at triathlons and recently was involved in car crash which upset my training physically and mentally- the organisers and helpers on the day were so helpful and encouraging and I am extremely grateful . I loved every minute and am looking forward to September for the next one.

Just a fantastic event. Good, clear communication in the run up, and then all very smooth, straightforward and hassle free on the day itself. I did this as my first ever triathlon a couple of years ago and would definitely recommend it to anyone getting started, but its also worth returning to - I'm up to 4 now! And....total unexpected bonus this year....tiramisu at the finish line!

Really lovely event, supportive staff, good marshals en route. Couldn't ask for better organisers really.. Only thing I would change are those steps on the route!

Great event. Friendly and relaxed with encouraging marshals. This is the second time I’ve taken part. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to others.

The course was perfectly marked, and the entire event was flawlessly managed. Highly recommended!

This was only my second triathlon, but I would certainly do it again. although the swim started a little later than scheduled, the facilities at Wilmslow Leisure Centre were excellent, with spacious changing area, lockers and friendly staff. There is also a big cafe for supporters to wait in. The bike route was very well signed and the marshals were helpful. The run was also very well marshalled by volunteers that were very encouraging. Thank you.

I’ve done lots of these local type events. Organisation for this event is the wordy race I’ve ever been to. From the moment I arrived it was a shambles. My swim start time was 11:34. I finally got in the pool at around 12:30. The swim briefing was almost non existent. It took pla...
I’ve done lots of these local type events. Organisation for this event is the wordy race I’ve ever been to. From the moment I arrived it was a shambles. My swim start time was 11:34. I finally got in the pool at around 12:30. The swim briefing was almost non existent. It took place, but there were so many people waiting by the side of the pool it was impossible to hear. Transition is a free for all. Rack your bike wherever you turn up. No numbered sticker so you can see your spot quickly. How this event is sanctioned by Brit Tri is beyond me. I hope the British Tri race officials will report how poorly run this is. Had I been a first timer it might’ve put me off the sport all together.

Marketed as a first-timer triathlon, but I would not recommend that at all. You will need some experience to navigate the difficulties of this event. Delays of an hour getting into the pool. Pretty horrid road surfaces throughout the bike ride. Setting off at midday on a Sunday meaning traffic was manic; angry cars, clogged up junctions, just generally unsafe in my opinion. If you are sending people out on the bike at this time, it needs to have some very quiet roads, or the possibility of partial closures. Tough run with 4 sets of stairs included, up and down on slippy surfaces. The marshalls on pool-side at the start were having a power trip, making people uncomfortable and upset when just wanting to know about the delays, or try to listen to the briefing. I saw several instances of people being singled out to answer specific questions contained in the briefing given "to make sure they'd listened", but this came across as aggressive, unnecessary and bullying behaviour. I would recommend Wilmslow Triathlon Club to have someone more empathetic running the pool-side, if there are to be issues again with timings. Overall, I will not be coming back any time soon.

The marshalls were outstanding! So much support and lots of clear instructions shouted out as I approached junctions. The swim section was well organised and counted correctly, just about 25mins later into pool than allowed time. Clear brief on poolside. The run was hard - the bridges were tough and slippy. Good warning about them, just hadn’t trained well enough for them. Lovely goody bag, just stuff you wanted to eat. As much water and jelly beans you wanted on the finish line. Overall, very impressed and would do it again.

It's an affordable event with a variety of events to pick from. The run is flat with the challenge of two sets of steps crossing over the railway line. Train on stairs! Bike course is mostly fine with a couple of minor gradients, but just be careful leaving and coming back into Wilmslow: the roundabouts and traffic can add a few seconds to your race. Nothing the organisers can do about it: just accept it and cross your fingers. Marshals in 2025 were numerous and helpful and meant the races went smoothly - big thanks to all of them.
