Banana Tri is one of the most distinctive triathlon events in the UK. It's hosted close to London at Dorney Lake, the premium triathlon venue, known for its clear waters and flat bike/run course. The 'bananas' atmosphere and plentiful support help keep spirits high throughout even the toughest parts of the challenge.
You have the choice of six different multisport options, meaning there is something for everyone from triathlon experts to cautious first timers. Duathlon and relay options give those not keen on all three disciplines the opportunity to join in the Banana Tri fun too. Plus our popular scootathlon is a great way for children to get a taste of the action on the same day as you.
Hundreds of people return annually to experience the event again, so make sure you secure a place for 2023 before it's too late.
