The UK Kids Fun Triathlon Henley is now in its 8th year and held within the grounds of Henley Leisure Centre & Gillotts School, located just outside the pretty riverside market town on the River Thames.

Yet again 2017 saw a record number of children participate, leading to entries closing early due to the event being full.

• Achievable distances for all abilities of 5-16 yr olds
• Safe environment with event course contained within the grounds of Henley Leisure Centre & Gillotts School
• Indoor pool swim
• Grass cycle & run course on Gillotts School playing fields
• UK Kids Fun Triathlon 2018 finishers medal for everyone
• Official UK Kids Fun Event T-shirt available to purchase on the day

As organisers of the biggest triathlon series across the UK we are passionate and proud about what we do.

The Kids Fun Triathlons are no exception and leave everyone with a special sense of achievement at the end of an event when hundreds of smiling kids faces, parents words of appreciation and promises to return next year confirm that the end result was worth every bit of hard work all round.

NB: There will be a promotional video being filmed and photographs being taken at the event so please be aware of this.

Please Note: Competitor Race Day Information (Individual Start Times, Bib Numbers etc) will be emailed out to competitors 7-10 days before the event.

Unfortunately due to the venue being a school playing field, there are no dogs allowed on the site.

Please take some time to read all the event information, it will make it far more enjoyable for you and reduce the need to ask questions on the day. Good luck and have a great day!

The course is completely post and taped making it clear to follow and is entirely within the school grounds.

Children will not be allowed to take part without a bike helmet.

The run is fairly flat and entirely on grass. The course is again completely post & taped and within the grounds of the school.

• The whole of the bike & run course will be post and taped, making it very easy to navigate for the children.
• Parents/guardians, if you have a wristband, you are allowed into the cycle transition areas with your children to help them.
• The whole of the bike & run course is on hard compact grass, as well as being inside the school grounds, making it safe for the children.

Thank you for a splendid event on Saturday. India thoroughly enjoyed her first triathlon, and is keen to do another one as soon as possible! The whole event was beautifully organised and the officials were unfailingly friendly, kind, helpful and patient. We all had a great day. See you next year! Best wishes,
