Helvellyn Triathlon

6th September 2026

Jenkins Field

Venue

The Lake district is a stunning location for this iconic race. The race is set around the English hill of Helvellyn, England’s third highest Peak and located in the stunning Lake District. Standing at 950m, athletes get the chance to summit this beautiful peak before running back to the shores of Ullswater.

Glenridding is a small town at the bottom of Lake Ullswater - one of the longest lakes in the Lake District. It is a great spot to explore more of the natural beauty in the area if you make a long weekend of the race.

Races

Helvellyn is the one of the toughest races on the UK calendar, and as such there are a few options for how to tackle it, if you aren’t sure about racing it individually. We have the individual race, aqua bike (where you swim and bike and finish your race there), and the option to take part as a relay, doing either one or 2 legs as a team or 2 or 3.
