Immerse yourself in the scenic beauty of Exmoor at the Wimbleball Multisport Festival, where athletes from all walks of life come together to celebrate their passion for endurance sports. This festival offers an array of events designed to cater to a wide range of abilities and interests. The centerpiece event is the Iron distance triathlon, challenging even the most seasoned competitors with its grueling 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride, and marathon run. For those looking for something more manageable yet equally rewarding, there are also shorter formats like the half-Ironman (70.3), standard-distance triathlons, sprint distances, aquathlons, and aquabikes. Swimmers can take advantage of Wimbleball Lake's clear waters with options ranging from a 5K open water swim to more relaxed distances such as 2.5 kilometers or even the half-mile mark for those just starting out. Cyclists will enjoy picturesque routes that wind through Exmoor’s rolling hills, including full-day sportives covering 100 miles, 65 miles, and 50 miles. Trail runners are not left behind either; they can choose between a challenging 10K course or the more relaxed 5K run. Both courses offer breathtaking views of the lake and surrounding countryside, making for an invigorating experience on foot. Beyond the races themselves, festival-goers will find a vibrant atmosphere complete with live music performances that add to the festive spirit throughout the weekend. Accommodation options include great campsites within easy reach of all events, ensuring participants can rest up between sessions or enjoy family-friendly activities designed specifically for kids. Event villages provide ample space for vendors offering catering services and massage stations where athletes can refuel and recover after their efforts. Discounts are available when booking multiple events across the weekend, encouraging a full immersion into this multisport extravaganza that celebrates health, community spirit, and the joy of pushing personal limits in one of England’s most beautiful settings. The Wimbleball Multisport Festival is more than just races; it's an experience designed to connect athletes with nature while fostering camaraderie among participants. Whether you're a seasoned pro or new to endurance sports, there's something here for everyone looking to make lasting memories in the heart of Exmoor.

About Cornwall
Learn more about the host city, Cornwall.
Cornwall is a county in the southwest of England. Lying west of Devon from which it is separated by the River Tamar, Cornwall is one of the more isolated and distinctive parts of the United Kingdom but is also one of its most popular with holidaymakers. Its relatively warm climate, long coastline, amazing scenery, and diverse Celtic heritage go only part of the way to explaining its appeal.
