Pembrokeshire Coast Triathlon
Next Race: 20/06/2027
Broad Haven, Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, SA62 3JH
The Pembrokeshire Coast Triathlon brings a full field of swimmers, cyclists and runners to Broad Haven, a stretch of golden sand at the southern end of St Brides Bay inside the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Race the full standard distance (1.5k open water swim, 42k bike, 10k run), take on the swim-and-bike-only Aquabike, or split the distance across a relay team of two or three.
This is a serious test — the bike course climbs over 400m through rolling Pembrokeshire lanes, and the run's opening 3k along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path adds another 130m of climbing, with sweeping views over St Bride's Bay before you're back on the seafront. The event regularly forms part of the Welsh Triathlon Super Series (broadcast on S4C) and has hosted the Welsh Standard Distance Championships, so expect a genuinely competitive field alongside plenty of first-timers.

The Course

- Bike (42k): mainly rural Pembrokeshire roads with over 400m of climbing, plus some fast flat sections on the return leg from Haverfordwest. Roads stay open to traffic throughout, so normal road rules apply
- Run (10k): starts with 130m of climbing along the scenic Pembrokeshire Coast Path, with views over St Bride's Bay, before quiet country lanes bring you back to the seafront at Broad Haven for the finish
