Triathlon y Bala 2026

Supporting Tom Harrison House

For the third year we're excited to be coming back to Bala, with two distances of Triathlon, Sprint & Standard.

The beautiful Triathlon y Bala triathlon begins with a water start in the famous Llyn Tegid with Aran Fawddwy providing a dramatic backdrop, before progressing onto the stunning bike and run course.

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!

NEW FOR 2026

We are thrilled that the Triathlon y Bala Standard Distance has been chosen to host the following events in 2026:

British Championships
Welsh Triathlon Super Series Grand Final
European Championship Age Group Qualifier

Find out more about these events on the race page.

Triathlon y Bala is once again supporting Tom Harrison House. Tom Harrison House is an addiction recovery centre supporting veterans from across the UK and all three services, as well as still-serving soldiers, reservists and those in the emergency services. The programme also offers support to family members. The specialist team at the centre are supported by dedicated volunteers, all of whom have been through the programme themselves. With exercise playing a major part in recovery, supporting both mental and physical health, taking part in the triathlon has given an important focus to many residents - look out for the boys and girls in blue at the event and give them a cheer!

If you would like to fundraise and support their incredible work, please tick the box on your booking form when entering. There is no minimum amount; every penny counts.
