Event Information
We are pleased to announce that the 2024 Woodhorn Museum Triathlon has been selected to host a British Triathlon Age Group Qualifier for the 2025 World Standard Distance Triathlon Championships. Don’t forgot after entering to register your intent to qualify on the British Triathlon website HERE
The Woodhorn Museum triathlon is located within the picturesque historic scheduled ancient monument of Woodhorn Museum and the QE2 Country Park. The open water swim challenge events are very well suited to beginners and equally attractive to the seasoned open water swimmer, choose your challenge, distances of 750m – 1.5km or 3km. The Children’s triathlon events attract all the age groups from TriStar Start, TriStar 1, TriStar 2, & TriStar 3.
The Aquabike, Aquathlon & Triathlon events are great for beginners and relay teams of all abilities, so if you are a new to the sport, there’s no need to be concerned about entering. We look after everyone regardless; we will be with you all the way to the finish line, and you can be assured that there will be plenty of other multi-sport athletes of a similar ability taking part.
The swim will be in the warm shallow freshwater QE2 lake set within the park grounds. The bike route will take you out of the Museum along to the coastal route through Widdrington Village, before sweeping onto the coast and along to the beautiful Druridge bay with some breath-taking views along the coastline.
The run will be on the footpath that winds its way through the woodland and open grasslands that surround the lake. The run passes by the finish line within the Museum at the end of each lap making this ideal for spectators to cheer everyone on to a great finish with a big smile.
If you are worried about open water swimming, why not join us for our weekly open water swimming sessions at the QE2 lake (every Thursday, May - July), further details are on our VO2Max open water swim page.
Please note, all non-BTF athletes will need to purchase a Race Pass from BTF HERE.
Failure to show proof of purchase of your BTF Race Pass on the day will result in you not being able to participant in the event.
