“Great family feel event for novice to experienced triathletes with options for all. Safe swim at 10 second intervals depart to make you feel at ease … lovely quiet lanes cycle route … social run laps allowing supporters to really be part of it (that’s the trade off for the multi lap route lake course) … Marshalls excellent and long live the Reading Tri”
“I’m not an experienced triathlete and to be honest i hate running, but the whole event was such a good experience. Even though i hadn’t run in about 3 years so i was expecting it to be the worst part, the course was so lovely with nice views and after each lap running through transition area the support was just amazing from marshals and competitors and really kept me going. The swim was lovely and barely any weeds, and the bike course was also beautiful with barely any cars. Overall was a perfect race with a very nice atmosphere.”
“I’ve been competing since 2000 so I’ve seen a few races in my time. I just wanted to say thank you for what was a really well organised but also very relaxed and friendly event. The marshalls did a great job. And it was a nice touch having a ‘roving’ announcer at the finish.”
“This is a great local race with a friendly vibe. The lake is scenic with a clearly marked route and good jetty area. The bike course is around the surrounding countryside, through a couple of villages and woodland areas. The majority of the bike course is on open roads but they were quiet and no problems. This year’s run was laps on a grassy trail, it was nice seeing the other competitors and enjoying the green surroundings. I would recommend this race. Thanks to Tri20 club and all the volunteers”
“Great event! Second time I’ve done this as part of a relay team and it went well. This is a smaller, well run and very friendly event. I really enjoy the atmosphere and everyone from the organisers, stewards to the other participants were friendly and supportive. The results information was available as soon as you finish and the overall results for all the categories are posted quickly.”
“Thank you Tri20 such a super, friendly event great marshalling and well organised… brilliant”
“Thank you Tri2o for a fantastic event. Great organisation, great marshalling and great prizes. Looking forward to racing again next year.”

Yours aching but happy (and breaking no records!)”

“Very well organised and run, all the staff were incredibly helpful. The bike course was fantastically signed and the marshals were great. Transition worked well throughout. […] it was a very enjoyable day and I would certainly recommend.”
“Marshall’s and event organisation was spot on and its a great triathlon course!”
“Great event by a local Club, not a large money obsessed company. Thank you very much, I’ll be back next year:-) and I’ll spread the word”
“Overall, a superb event, well organised, coordinated, marshalled and run. Highlights were that all involved were not only highly motivated but were all highly knowledgeable and communicated it efficiently and effectively. This together with a good and well marshalled course made for an enjoyable race environment.
I recognise that it takes a great deal to put on an event and even more to put on one of such high calibre.”
“Overall – I am excited to come back next year! Thank you so much – especially to the volunteers who stayed cheerful and supportive to the last competitor in the rain and wind :-)”
