Helvellyn Triathlon

Set against the stunning backdrop of the Lake District, the Helvellyn Triathlon offers an unforgettable challenge for triathletes and nature enthusiasts alike. This iconic race begins with a 1-mile open water swim in Ullswater's crystal-clear waters before transitioning to a demanding 38-mile bike ride that ascends Kirkstone Pass—a formidable climb known for its steep, relentless gradient.
After the grueling ascent over Kirkstone Pass, competitors are rewarded with a technical descent into transition. The race culminates with an epic 9-mile fell run up to Helvellyn's summit at 950 meters above sea level. This final leg is marked by breathtaking views of England’s most dramatic landscapes and rugged mountain terrain.
Glenridding, the starting point, offers a charming village atmosphere that sets the tone for what promises to be an exhilarating weekend in one of Britain’s premier national parks. Whether you're competing solo or as part of a relay team, this event is more than just a race; it's an experience to remember and cherish.
The Helvellyn Triathlon takes place on September 5, 2027, inviting participants to explore the fells, lakes, and quaint cafes that make the Lake District one of Britain’s most beloved regions.
