Gower Sprint
Located in the picturesque village of Port Eynon, Gower and the winner of the prestigious British Triathlon Event Of The year, the Kinetica Gower triathlon is a well-designed course that is tough but fair on competitors. An exciting sea swim in blue flag waters provides the challenge before athletes switch to their bikes as they head inland to navigate climbs, technical descents and fast flat sections. The final run discipline takes advantage of the natural surroundings with a two lap multi-terrain course consisting of sand, grass, footpaths and roads.
The race is specifically staged on a Saturday to ensure that a full weekend of fun can be enjoyed by all the athletes and their families. Camping facilities are available overlooking the swim start, a pasta party on the Friday night and a postrace party on the Saturday including fun children’s races, BBQ and live band – it really is the event for all and not to be missed.
