What a lovely event! Nice swim in good quality lake water, flat and mostly traffic-free bike route and flat interesting run. This was my second tri after several years out with knee problems and having done the Cotswold Sprint a few times in the past it felt like a homecoming. It was great to have my daughter also taking part, after about 15 years away from triathlon. To top it all off, I came away with the trophy for first Vet 70+ so guess I'll have to be there next year to defend my title :)

Well organised, friendly event with enthusiastic and helpful organisers and marshals. After a 4am start and a 2 hour journey, the event was well worth the effort and was one i thoroughly enjoyed. The routes were easy to navigate and both the bike and run courses were nice and flat. Definitely a beginner friendly event but also one to be enjoyed by the more experienced triathletes. Registration was quick and easy and everything was well run from start to finish. The only things I would say is that it would be nice to be able to see the swim course on the pre-race information. Some info on the position of transition vs the start would also be helpful - and maybe a heads up about bringing some flipflops for the walk to the start! Will definitely be looking to attend this event again next year, thank you ASE.

This triathlon ran like clockwork! I was pretty nervous, having not done a triathlon for about 15 years, but everything was laid out clearly in the pre race info and all the pre race logistics ran smoothly. I liked the allocated bike racking. The swim course was extremely easy to navigate and despite not being too familiar with the area, the bike and run courses were easy to follow, with the run being lovely and scenic. The marshals were all amazing - really friendly and encouraging and of course the stream of support from Shouty Dave can't fail to motivate! I really loved this event and am glad I picked it as my first tri in a looooong time. Very friendly and extra special to be able to do it with my Dad! Thank you for putting on such a great event.

Great, well run event and great location. I always worry about getting lost but the course was well marshalled and signposted. Numbered racking is great as I hate the carnage of a free for all! Friendly atmosphere, and fab marshalls too...would definitely do it again!

A lovely well planned triathlon in great surroundings. We'll organises from start to end, well planned out and good supper from Marshall's with special thanks from continuous encouragement from Dave. Loved the medal and the t shirt. A great sense of achievement once completed, can't wait to do my next.

First OW swim tri (only 4th Tri to date) and being a nervous swimmer I was a little apprehensive despite several practice sessions in the event lake. I was offered to different colour hat so safety crews could identify me in the water (which I took) and came in handy when the panic attack arrived on the swim… a few words of encouragement and 30 seconds to a minute to calm down and recover and I was on my way and completed the swim. The rest of the race was well marshalled, signposted and supported alongside the encouragement from Marshalls and supporters. Bring my family along to experience the day is part and parcel of the event for me and my two boys (6 &3 yrs) got invoked in the cheering and shouting for everyone and really enjoyed themselves too. A good flat course on both run and bike and perfect for both anyone just starting out or a seasoned triathlete. Although it’s an individual race, the camaraderie between athletes was great all the way through the event. 100% recommended.

Another great event run by Active Sports Events. Always relaxed and friendly and a lovely Cotswold lake venue. Very good comms pre race and very accommodating of requests leading up to race. Great Lake to swim in - bike route good and a brand new run route which was much less narrow than the old path round the lake. Thx guys!

My second time doing this local triathlon and it was really enjoyable and a friendly atmosphere. Transition and run route were actually better in the new locations - and the run around adjacent lake was actually a lot more interesting than previous year's lakex2 laps. Swim start was good - but more emphasis needed on 'fast swimmers first' - perhaps have an estimated swim time to put some order in the starting queue. Bike route is pretty good and fairly flat. Remind people to wear sandals / flippies to walk to the swim start.
