I loved the event, would definitely do it again, but my only note would be that the grassy section at the start of the run was really uneven and I kept cobbling over. Maybe there is an alternate route?

Is it possible to add in a postal of numbers option? Happy to pay a couple of pounds more. This morning we got up at 4.30am to get there between 6 and 7am. I was exhausted and couldn't string a sentence together. I thought my husband was joking when he told me what time we'd be getting up.

Really nice event, despite being really tired.

Very well marked and a very nice course.

Very friendly and well organised. Only my second Tri but will be coming back to do it again next year. Thanks for all the encouragement from Marshall’s competitors and observers

A friendly team was running the event. As last year. A good fast bike route. I'll be back

Great event - that was well organised.

Weather conditions were terrible (so lots of Type 2 fun)- but the event organiser and BTF official took account of that, and so it still felt a safe and welcoming race. (able to leave clothes in plastic bag to keep them dry, and cutting short the medal ceremony so we could get home and warm up)

Bike route fast and flat in the right conditions (with limited traffic). Run route fun in the mud

I'd do it again next year

This was my first ever triathlon and despite the horrendous weather conditions, I really enjoyed it. The support on the day was brilliant and everyone was so friendly and helpful.

Always good always well organised but now getting expensive and paying extra for the T-shirt smarts a bit, this year the shirt was pap sorry but others have been great back n front printed but this year considering we’re paying extra it felt very cheap

Awful weather but thank you to the amazing Marshals and Fast Forward Team. You aced it

Fab event, nicely organised and marshalls veey friendly. Great atmosphere. Didnt enjoy the trail run however especially with weather condition today
Thank you!

Great event organised by great people for triathletes at all levels. The weather was brutal today but that’s just bad luck for the organisers and athletes which can’t be helped.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered and marshalled today, the weather conditions were terrible, but you were all still smiling and really encouraging, which was very much appreciated

I know it is tough to know in advance but with the amount of rain we had the run spoilt a great event. The field was turning into a bog and the canal path was completely flooded and over grown.

A great way to start the year. It was all good. Unfortunately the weather was horrendous and had to wait a while till the last one on the bike arrived into the transition. I've bought a changing robe so that I am not shivering whilst waiting to take my bike etc back to the car.

Overall, a great event and will be doing this again next year when the entries are open for April 2025.
