Jersey Triathlon
The Jersey Triathlon is the most Southerly triathlon of the British Isles and is one of the most exciting, challenging and picturesque courses in Britain.
The event rebranded and relocated to the Waterfront in St Helier in 2013 and having received very positive feedback from local triathletes, organisers continued to develop the course and event. In 2014 the Jersey Triathlon saw a significant increase in people participating, as the event became more established as big sporting spectacle for the Island and our visiting triathletes. In 2015 the course was selected to host the Island Games event in Jersey and the same course was used for the 2016 Jersey Triathlon event.
The Jersey Triathlon now operates with four different race categories, thus offering a distance for all levels of ability to participate. The largest of the races remains the 'Olympic' distance, but the event also has 'Super Sprint distance and a 'Jersey Sprint' distance, which is a variation on the normal Sprint distance! The course consists of a 750m swim in front of the iconic Elizabeth Castle, then a challenging one-lap 40km bike course and finishing with a 5km run around Jersey's Waterfront and Elizabeth Marina. The event also operates a Junior Triathlon on the same day as the adult races.
