Athletes from near and far gathered for an exhilarating weekend of swimming, cycling, and running, with over 35 races hosted and participants ranging from 8 to 78 years old. Under a mix of sunshine and showers, competitors faced a variety of courses, each presenting its own unique challenges.

The event village buzzed with excitement as spectators gathered to cheer on athletes crossing the finish line in front of the stunning backdrop of Cholmondeley Castle.

Racing at the castle is a one-of-a-kind experience, made even more unforgettable by the passionate supporters lining the courses, offering spirited encouragement throughout the day.

The sunny morning session concluded with the Super Sprint and Starter Sprint Triathlons, alongside the Swim Series, which drew a large number of enthusiastic swimmers. The 5K swim saw standout performances from Ashley Hogg and Lesley Dawson, who emerged as winners.

These events brought extra excitement and friendly competition, keeping energy levels high and spirits soaring for both athletes and spectators alike.

In the afternoon, attention turned to the youth events, featuring races across three distinct age groups. It was truly inspiring to witness so many young athletes giving their best, showcasing impressive talent, determination, and sportsmanship.

These youth races offered a glimpse into the bright future of the sport and provided an energetic and uplifting finale to an action-packed day.

Sunday kicked off at 8 a.m. with Gauntlet athletes tackling the iconic half iron distance. James Wells Crowther and Katherine O’Mahony were first across the line.

Soon after, athletes tackled the Standard Distance Triathlon, with impressive victories by Liam Vandamme and Georgia Hilleard.

Duathletes, aquathletes, and aquabikers powered through, with Andy Holladay and Gaynor Seymour topping the middle distance duathlon.

The Run Series saw impressive participation across the marathon, half marathon, and 10K events. Congratulations to the marathon winners: Jaime Gutierrez, who defended his title with a sub-3-hour finish, and Ciara Wilde.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at Cholmondeley Castle for a weekend of sweat, cheers, and possibly some questionable tan lines. Watching you all Race Your Way was a blast — from speedy sprinters to determined jog-walkers, you nailed it.

Big shout-out to the spectators who clapped ’til their hands hurt, the food stalls that kept us fuelled (and slightly over-caffeinated), the pop-up shops that made us want things we didn’t know we needed, and the live band that had us toe-tapping mid-transition.

And of course, to the marshals and crew — our unsung heroes in purple and hi-vis — we literally couldn’t have done it without you.

Here’s to sports, snacks, and another unforgettable weekend. Same time next year?
