1. WOMENONLY TRIATHLON
Location: Dorney Lake, Eton
Date: July
Distance: 750m | 21.2km | 5km
"This race is perfect for newbies to tri. The course is multi-lap which means that even if the pancake-flat course doesn't see you on to a fantastic race result, the support from the crowds definitely will. I came away with sore hands from high-fiving all the kids watching!"

2. PORTISHEAD TRI
Location: Portishead, Somerset
Date: August
Distance: 400m | 25km | 5km
"For an extremely well-organised sprint tri event, I'd highly recommend Portishead. The lido is a great venue for the swim. For a step up from a first tri, the cycle route is challenging and hilly, but the view along the coast road is a

3. CRAGGY ISLAND TRI
"Craggy Island stands out as an unique event. The swim starts on the mainland at Oban across to the gorgeous isle of Kerrera, with an off-road bike and run following. This format set amidst a spectacular location is hard to beat. Durty Events don't do dull and the Craggy is the jewel in its crown."

4. EASTBOURNE TRIATHLON
"The Eastbourne Downs and seaside provided a dramatic backdrop and a challenging course. The race day was a joy with friendly marshals and staff. And the band at the top of the hill on the run was a lovely touch." Nick Neter, 109th in 2016

5. BLACK COUNTRY TRI
"Going strong for 24 years, the twice-yearly BCT Sprint was where top pro Jodie Stimpson started her career. With a pool swim and flat off-road run the race is also perfect for beginners, and Black Country Triathletes offer training days leading up to both events." Jack Sexty, 65th in 2011

6. LLANDUDNO SEA TRIATHLON
"Llandudno has a spacious transition and a calm sea swim. The bike has a hill that goes on and on, followed by a fast technical downhill. It has an amazingly well supported run route with a nasty surprise at the halfway mark for the sprint-distance athletes. All in all it's a cracking race in a beautiful part of the country." Michael Barnett, 58th in 2016
