Cycle Retreats Triathlon y Bala
With the threat of cancellation looming over the historic & iconic Bala Triathlon, Always Aim High Events are pleased to be able to step in and save this great event for the triathlon community in 2024!
The beautiful Cycle Retreats Bala triathlon begins with a water start in the famous Llyn Tegid with Aran Fawddwy providing a dramatic backdrop, before progressing onto a completely closed-road bike and run course.
Combine this fast course with some of the best spectator support out there, and you have a race experience like no other. Whether you're a veteran of this race, or looking to take part for the first time, make sure Bala is on your event calendar!
The Cycle Retreats Triathlon y Bala is supported by Tom Harrison House, please contact them if you are interested in a charity space fundraising to support their incredible work.
