New to Triathlon? Start Here. Haverfordwest's Friendly Sprint Triathlon & Aquathlon.

Haver-Tri is a sprint distance triathlon (400m pool swim, 17k bike, 5k run) based at Haverfordwest Leisure Centre, built with newcomers to the sport firmly in mind. Don't fancy the whole thing? Enter as a relay team of two or three, or skip the bike altogether and take on the swim-and-run aquathlon instead.

With a field capped at just 160 competitors, a flat pool swim, and an undulating but manageable bike and run course, this is the perfect first triathlon — or a friendly season opener if you've done it all before.

The Course

Swim (400m): a flat (!) pool swim at Haverfordwest Leisure Centre

Bike (17k): some fast flat sections and a few lumps and bumps, especially in the second half
