Im in training for Craggy island triathalon ,anyone else tried mtb triathalon? this looks like a gentle introduction ,and i reckon the cross training will help with the fitness,

did a helly hansen offroad tri a few years ago. great fun too! go for it and have fun

Aye done a couple. Did one run by Endurance Life which was the most shambolic event I’ve ever been to. Clearly aimed at the ‘have a go’ types, not a problem, but I’d never do another of their events.

Done several by All About Triathlons which have been excellent.

Don’t expect any monstrous technical challenges I’d say!

Great fun and IMO more tiring than standard road based tris over same distance.

+1 for AAT events. Toby and Rory do a great job!

XTT put on by AAT at Hawley is not too technical but is still quite a fun circuit with a few bits that make you think!!!
