The stunning Druridge bay country park hosts the Northumberland sprint, standard and relay team Triathlon.

On Sunday 5^th June Druridge bay country park will play host to the Northumberland Triathlon. 

The Northumberland Triathlon is one of the largest Triathlon events in the Northeast.  The flat and fast, spectator friendly course means that this event is not to be missed!

There is a race for everyone, sprint, standard and a relay! So take your pick….

If there was ever an ideal location to stage a triathlon event, then Druridge Bay Country Park must be top of the list. The Northumberland triathlon is based in the centre of Druridge Bay Country Park, which is situated approximately 20 miles North of Newcastle upon Tyne and 3 miles south of the fishing village of Amble. Located right next to a stunning bay, on a beautiful stretch of Northumberland coastline, it’s a popular place to ride, cycle, walk, paddle and surf and perfect for a fun family day out.

The Northumberland triathlon has proved its popularity year after year to be an enjoyable event by selling out before the closing date for entries, attracting a wide range of competitors from all abilities. It’s a classic, straight forward and very well suited to novices, equally attractive to seasoned competitors and those people wanting to move up from sprint to standard distance. An ideal addition to your 2016 open water triathlon season!

Neil Jefferson, Event organiser said; “Vo2max racing events are delighted to be organising the Northumberland Triathlon again this year. We believe that we have an event and an improved course that will showcase the sport from both the competitor’s and spectator’s perspective.”

The swim is in the warm shallow freshwater Ladyburn Lake set within the park grounds. The cycle route will take you out of the Country Park along the flat and fast beautiful coastal route and the run will be a multi-lap route on the footpath that winds its way through the woods and meadows that surround the lake, each run lap passes within viewing distance of the transition and finish area making it great for spectators.
