Our Try-a-Tri event is tailor-made for beginners, especially first-timers, at the sport of triathlon. With manageable distances and the combination of a pool swim and a flat run course, the Sri Chinmoy Somerset Try-a-Tri is a great way to get a taste of the UK's fastest growing endurance sport. Our sponsors are bike mechanic Gary Harris who offers fantastic mechanical support and Run and Become, the world-famous Specialist Running Shop. We were also supported since 2018 by K2 Timing who provide Electronic Chip Timing & online results. For photos of previous Try-a-Tri events take a look at our Races Gallery. 

We are also offering a Sprint Triathlon held on the same day as the Try-a-Tri, with longer distances of 400m swim, 25k bike and 5k run. Both the Try-a-Tri and Sprint Triathlon are perfect "practice races" for anyone planning to do other longer local events later in the season.
