Gower, the UK’s first designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) provides a beautiful backdrop for this huge event, attracting over 400 athletes per day who test their skills in the beautiful blue-flag awarded waters and shore of Port Eynon which are home to both the swim and parts of the run and bike routes.

As well as the thrill of the Triathlon, Port Eynon has everything you want for a family day out: a beautiful sandy beach, a history of fishermen and smuggling, two fish and chip shops, a gift shop, a pub and a restaurant. It is also situated on the Wales Coast Path www.walescoastpath.gov.uk so if you’re a walker, you can easily connect to the nearby villages of Horton and Overton.
