The Oxfordshire Triathlon Series consists of 3 races spread across the summer, from June to August.

All races feature a 1km open water swim, a scenic, fast yet challenging 35km bike route and a flat 7.5km run, they all take place on a Sunday; June 12th, July 10th and August 7th, starting at 8.30am and all races take place at the fantastic Queensford Water Park, Dorchester, Oxon, OX10 7PQ.

The venue already hugely popular with triathletes from all over the South, the crystal clear water makes an ideal venue for the open water swim. The beautiful Oxfordshire countryside provides a fantastic bike lap, with a mixture of fast flat sections and short sharp kickers! The run takes place around the perimeter of the lake, ensuring a fast, flat, traffic free lap.

The distances have been specifically chosen by the race organiser to offer a challenge to those new to triathlon, looking to race further than a sprint, while at the same time providing a shorter alternative to those that typically race longer. We are also keen for local clubs and teams to use these as either a standalone one off 'Club Champs' or a series of races throughout the year to crown their 'Club Champion!' We are offering a big discount to any clubs wishing to use this as part of their club championships, just drop us a line to mark.harvey@take3tri.co.uk for more info!

For a region with numerous triathlon clubs, keen individual athletes and beautiful surroundings, Oxfordshire was in need of its own open-water swim triathlon series. Apart from the wonderful Blenheim Triathlon which happens early in the year, we felt a need to provide more racing opportunities in this region. By offering 3 races it means that athletes can race 2 or 3 over the course of the year and measure their progression, or those with busy schedules should be able to attend perhaps 1 or 2, therefore not missing out on the fun!
