The Bala Sprint Triathlon is a new addition to the triathlon Calendar this year and sits alongside the popular Bala Standard Triathlon.

The Bala Sprint will be stage 3 of the 2019 Welsh Super Series and will also form part of the Bala Big Bash Weekend – Bash Fawr y Bala, a collaborative multisport festival which provides participation opportunities for any participant from 9 through to 70+.

Welsh Triathlon will work closely with delivery partners, Swim Wales, Gwynedd Council, Snowdonia National Park, the Urdd and a number of community groups to host a feast of multisport. Other activities across the weekend will include children’s' TriStar events, a team relay triathlon with a twist and open water swimming opportunities.

The full details of the New Sprint course will be disclosed in the New Year, but the course will consist of a 750m swim, a 20km closed road bike circuit and a fast 5km run course, all along the banks of the beautiful Llyn Tegid.
