Thank you for your support
…As part of the Original Multisport Weekend in the East Midlands.
This weekend is causing a stir in the East Midlands with a fast growing reputation as THE event to attend on the calendar for 2024.
After the success of 2023, we are pleased to announce the return of The Belvoir Castle Triathlon 2024 (as part of the Belvoir Castle Multisport Weekend).
With the same format as the LAST 2 YEARS, the only change we will be making for 2024 is to add a Super Sprint Aquabike and Aquathlon and a Children’s Triathlon as well as the Aquathlon. The aim is to keep striving to make this event TRULY inclusive and there really is an option for EVERYONE! 🎉
Set on the stunning landscapes of the historic estate, providing the perfect backdrop for a memorable open water triathlon. We will be swimming in the estate's tranquil lake. The bike route is undulating through the best of the British countryside, finished by a picturesque run through the castle grounds.

The Bike.
Bike: All distances (other than the Super Sprint) is a multi-lap course with a challenging undulating profile through the idyllic vale of Belvoir villages.
