Twyford Kids Triathlon Returns After 5-Year Hiatus

DATE

April 29, 2025

Barnes Fitness is excited to announce the return of the Twyford Kids Triathlon, a thrilling event for young athletes aged 8-16.

After a five-year break, the Triathlon is back and ready to inspire a new generation of triathletes. The event will take place on Sunday June 22, 2025 at Polehampton Church of England Junior School and King George’s Field in Twyford.

The Twyford Kids Triathlon offers a fantastic opportunity for children of all abilities to experience the challenge and excitement of a multi-sport event. Participants will swim in an open-air heated pool, cycle on an off-road course, and run on the grass fields. The event is also a part of the Triathlon England South Central Junior Series.

“We are thrilled to bring back the Twyford Kids Triathlon to the community,” said Ellie Barnes, Event Organizer at Barnes Fitness. “It’s a fantastic event that promotes a healthy lifestyle, builds confidence, and encourages children to challenge themselves. We welcome both seasoned triathletes and those trying the sport for the first time.”

The event will feature a new “Have a Tri” option for those who want to try triathlon without the pressure of competition. In the “Have a Tri” event, participants can choose the amount of time they swim, bike, and run within set limits, and will receive a medal and event memento.
