What people say
“This is a brilliant event for a first triathlon or those more experienced.
The boys have both done triathlons as part of a club for a few years. Tom did his first triathlon at Hatch End in 2024, and it was my first. It was such a lovely atmosphere for my first experience, meeting people waiting to start and cheering each other along when we met again on the run near the end.We can’t wait for 2026 “
