The is was my first triathlon event and it was extremely well organised. There was a brilliant mix of skill level and they made it feel as though everyone was welcome.

The Ladies/Others split. Look, I’m so far away from being a pro but because my swim stands up well I end up with pretty fast folks. This isn’t bad when start times were mixed but now I’m in the later wave as soon as I get out the pool I’m smoked by everyone who starts with and after me. I’d rather be starting with all the 10 minute swimmers early on and not an hour later.

I was surprised there was no tshirt within the cost of the race. Also, no marshals at transition after the swim to guide people into the correct area. Great organisation, wonderful volunteers, signposted well. Be back next year!

No expensive

Please pass on to your team what a fantastic job they all did. Well done

The grassed start and end to the run was not nice at all! Hurt calf muscle on uneven ground! Not your fault but the rest of the run was lovely.

As a first timer to any triathlon, I was made to feel welcome and reassured by the confidence professionalism

Another great event from this team.
Thanks to all involved

I have done this Triathlon a number of times and can see the pros/cons to the changes in run route, bike route and swim format.
You can’t please everyone but I think the organisers are open to the opinion of competitors.

Great event will be back, go back to the old run route though.

Got a bit confused going out on the run as was looking for orange signs but the 1st one was yellow - my error but after doing the old run route previously I should have paid more attention. Otherwise really enjoyed it!

Brilliant event my first ever triathlon had best time and really enjoyed the course will be back for more.

What an absolutely amazing local event! If you’re considering your first triathlon, the Early Brigg Triathlon is the perfect place to start. From start to finish, the organisation was outstanding.

I collected my race number the day before the event, and I have to give a special shout-out to the two young children helping out – they were incredibly professional and did a fantastic job. I was genuinely impressed by their maturity and enthusiasm.

The pre-race briefing was essential, clearly explaining every detail: from exiting the pool, navigating transition, and heading out on the bike course, all the way to the run and across the finish line. The poolside marshals were especially thorough and supportive, guiding us on when to enter the water and giving us a helpful 10-second countdown before starting.

The marshals throughout transition and the course were simply brilliant – upbeat, encouraging, and always pointing us in the right direction. Their energy truly made a difference. Even the photographers were not only snapping great shots but also cheering us on, which added to the uplifting atmosphere.

Out on the course, the camaraderie among competitors was heartwarming. We exchanged high-fives on the run and cheers on the bike – everyone was so positive and supportive.

Overall, it was a wonderful, well-run event. The whole morning was brilliant, and I’m so glad I took part. Huge thanks to all involved – I’ll definitely be back.
