Stretching from April to September the three races are set in a variety of superb venues across a range of distances. The Chirk sprint distance race is held in the County of Wrexham whilst the Bala Middle and Bala Standard distances are held in Gwynedd. The club is justifiably proud of the quality and challenge of its races, working on the principle that they are races run by triathletes for triathletes. Chirk Triathlon April The first race of the season for many, Chirk has established a solid reputation across the Wales and the Northwest, being selected as the British Universities and the Welsh Championships. The race has been oversubscribed for the last four years and in 2006 was already full in February. The high spot of the race is the superb bike leg which takes competitors along the beautiful Ceiriog valley. Bala Middle Distance June A big challenge set in an outstanding location, twice serving as the National Middle Distance championships, Bala Lake in June must be one of the most impressive venues for a longer distance event. The race revolves around the lake with the bike traversing large parts Snowdonia National Park and the run following the lake shoreline before a brutal climb into the foothills of the Arans. Not a race for the fainthearted, all who have finished this event know that they are on their way to further adventures in long distance triathlon.

Waves of a hundred strong set out across the lake with Aran Fawddy in the distance. The bike is very fast as competitors fly down towards Dolgellau. The run has one steep hill and then a beautiful section through the valley. As a celebration of a seasons racing, the race is superb, set in a town that really welcomes triathletes.
