On Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd July, the beautiful and historical Castle Howard played host to yet another spectacular Castle Race Series Triathlon and Multisport Festival!

We kicked off the race weekend with our Sprint Plus with athletes taking to the glorious Howard Great lake at 9am. Shortly followed by our Sprint, Super Sprint and Starter tri.

Huge congrats to Sprint Plus winners Philip Cornforth and Johanna Koehler.

For many athletes, this was their first event and we are thrilled that so many of you chose us to start your triathlon journey! Congratulations to our Starter Tri winners Islay Wilson and Thomas Wood! A tremendous effort!

Unfortunately, due to extremely poor weather, we had to make the decision to cancel the bike element for all adult races. Our Half Iron athletes, The Gauntlets were the first to cross the start line. It is a fierce distance and we commend all those who take part! Congratulations to our Gauntlet winners Thomas Sargeant and Charlotte Dalton!

Our Marathon, Half Marathon and 10k runners set off in the afternoon as they battled to complete  laps of the Castle estate and scenic countryside.

Our older junior races (13-16 years) ended the proceedings at Castle Howard. The youngsters  impressed the crowds as they took on their triathlon distances throughout the afternoon. Well done to winners in the Jacob Palmer and Roxie TWIDALE in the 13-14 years!

Our Race Director Brian Adcock said “Castle Howard was a success!  The weather certainly didn’t stop us hosting another fantastic event! The event village was electric with celebrating athletes as they made their way across the finish line, live music, food, drink and activities! Our crew and marshals pulled out all the stops for this event and I am incredibly grateful to each and every single one of them. Thank you to all the athletes who raced this weekend, and to all their supporters on the sidelines. It is all not possible without you! We can’t wait to be back!”
