400m POOL SWIM, 22km ROAD BIKE and a 3km ROAD RUN.
This is the 13th year Celtic Tri has run this event, and its always a great success. The event is aimed at novice level with a view to introducing newcomers to the sport but is not exclusively a novice event, and is a great course for seasoned pros to get a PB.

Bike route:
The bike route is from Vale of Neath Leisure centre , down along the B4242 to the turn around point near to the Ynys y Gerwn cricket club, Aberdulais, Neath, and back along the same stretch of the undulating road. Your bicycle must be in roadworthy condition and a cycling helmet must be worn and secured at all times of the bike section as per BTA rules. This is a non drafting event.
Run route:
The run is from the car park at the pool, across the road and off along the reclaimed colliery land adjacent to the B4242. Race referees, Marshals and staff will be on hand to guide you through the event.
