That's it for another year - thanks for all your support everyone.
There are lots of pictures on our Facebook page from our volunteer photographers - you are welcome to download them but do tag @Beccles Triathlon when you use them.
The results are here, and there's a great piece in the local paper here.
We're going to take a rest now then go race ourselves for the Summer, but we'll be back in the Autumn to announce next year's race, provisionally set for Sunday 9 June.
Meantime we'll be training with Beccles Triathlon Club which welcomes experienced triathletes and those who want to start out in the sport - for more information visit the club's website.

NEW RUN ROUTE
Following a last minute recce of the run route it has become so overgrown in the last week that it has become single file at best for a mile around the tow path beyond the sailing club and not feasible to hack clear, so you will instead be running our fallback route which is exactly the same distance (6.7km)
At the sailing club, you will turn right down the single track and join what is usually the return from the tow path along the river - you will then run back towards the old turn point from the river (and the footbridge across the ditch) where there will be a cone to run around and you will then run back along the same track - the track has 2 lanes - please keep right and the track is wide enough for overtaking down the middle
When you run back to the sailing club you will stay to the right of the single track and run up the grass bank and re-join the original route
The new route will be well signed and there will be marshals at key points to direct you
The new route is dry and the grass has been cut
While we may not get a chance to create a new Garmin route, the new route is shown here and there are some pics on our Facebook page

With just over 6 weeks until race day planning is going into overdrive. You should have received an email today to confirm your swim time. The deadline for deferrals is the 7th May so that we can make sure all competitors names are on your run vest. And the Competitors Briefing is now available here.

Such is the popularity of Beccles Triathlon that it sold out in December. But don't worry, there is a Waiting List, there will be drop outs and last year EVERYONE on the Waiting List was offered a place. Click here to join Waiting List.

Registration for the 2023 Beccles Tritahlon on 11 June 2023 wil OPEN at 11am SATURDAY 17 DECEMBER 2022.
The Beccles Triathlon is an annual event and returned in 2022 after being cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to Covid restrictions. Very many thanks to everyone who has supported the Triathlon and Beccles Lido, for which it is a major fundraiser - we are now open all year around, with chill swimming until April 2023 - you can book your swim here.
So Triathletes and wanabee-Triathletes...
We proudly present the...
9th Beccles Triathlon - 11th June 2023
REGISTRATION opens 11am on Saturday 17th December. Same link will take you to Waiting List if we sell out.
The Beccles Triathlon is an early season sprint which attracts well-seasoned Triathletes as well as newcomers - and all are equally welcome!
Beccles and our part of the Waveney Valley has lots of beautiful places to get active outdoors (click here to check out the BIKE route), and the Triathlon starts and ends at Beccles Lido.
We never imagined that we would get so popular, but we sold out every year, sometimes as quickly as 35 minutes! But if that happens, we will again have a waiting list for when people drop out (and they DO drop out!).
Beccles Triathlon is supported by Beccles Triathlon Club. We have the COOLEST Tri kit in the region and over 100 members, half of whom are ladies - so if you are a newcomer wanting to enter your first Tri we will get you Tri-fit and ready! Seasoned Triathletes looking to improve are also very welcome and we now have members who have raced for Great Britain and raced up to ironman distance. We're very friendly and we will often have 2 instructors, so no one gets left behind! Click here for more details.
Beccles Triathlon is a fundraiser to support the running costs of Beccles Lido and profits go to Beccles Lido Limited, a registered charity (no 1132102), with a contribution to event organisers Beccles Triathlon Club.
We hope you like our website. We hope you enter, or will volunteer to help (we will need Marshals and general help on the day - marshalling is great fun and not hard, so why not Click here to find out more).
Or just come along and spectate!
