Blaenafon Triathlon 16th May 2010
Rated by ‘220 Triathlon’ magazine as one of “The UK’s Toughest Triathlons” and also the UK’s longest-running triathlon event in it’s 27th year. Steep hills and a partially off-road run make this “tougher than some Ironmans” according to the Welsh Triathlon Office Coordinator.
