Titan Middle Distance Triathlon
Titan Brecon Middle Distance Triathlon is back for 2024, and they are celebrating the 10th year of Titan...
The event is located at the beautiful Parc Bryn Bach on the edge of the Brecon Beacons in Wales, and is easily accessible from South Wales, Bristol, Birmingham, London and the South West. This all adds up to making Titan Brecon the ‘must do’ middle distance triathlon on the British events calendar.
Titan Brecon Middle Distance Triathlon starts with a 1.2 mile one-lap swim and takes place in the park lake, fed by the waters of the Black Mountains in Wales.
The 60-mile bike course has now built a following of fans and ‘epic’ is the word! The quiet roads have excellent riding surfaces and the route tours the beautiful Brecon Moors before culminating with a sustained climb back to T2.
The final 13.1 mile run is a three-lap route around the lake and park – so it’s great for spectators!
