Darwen Triathlon, Aquathlon & Trail Runs June 2025
Join RunThrough for the Darwen Sprint and Standard Distance Triathlons, Aquathlons and 5k & 10k Trail races on Sunday 22nd June.
Take on a Sprint or Standard Distance Triathlon or Aquathlon around Bold Venture Park and surrounding scenic moorland, including a trail run up to the iconic Jubilee Tower!
The Darwen Triathlon is the perfect choice for athletes looking to swim in the indoor pool at Darwen Leisure Centre and take on a challenging course with scenic views. The course includes some tough uphill segments, exhilarating downhills, and a trail run to the tower, with a downhill finish back in Bold Venture Park.
The sprint Triathlon consist of a 400mm swim, followed by the 20km bike route and a 5k run.
The Standard distance completes a 800m pool swim and the 2 laps of the bike & runs course, to make these 40km & 10km respectively.
If the full triathlons not for you, then not to worry, you can join us for an Aquathlon version or just the running sections.
