Cholmondeley Castle Multisport Event: 20-21 June 2026
The Cholmondeley Castle Multisport Event takes place within the estate and parkland of Cholmondeley Castle in Cheshire. The weekend features multiple race disciplines across the castle grounds and surrounding roads, including open water swimming in Deer Park Mere and run routes that reach Tower Hill with views of the Beeston and Peckforton Hills.
A festival village is located within the estate and includes live music, shopping stalls, food and drink, children’s entertainment and yoga. The event offers competition categories for juniors and adults and includes a Mixed Team Relay triathlon. Courses use a mix of tarmac and multi terrain sections; junior races include specified draft and non-draft tarmac bike courses and advisory equipment notes for road and off-road tyres.
This is a British Triathlon permitted event; participants must hold an annual British Triathlon membership or purchase a single-use race pass. Photography is available around the course and village, and all participants receive a medal that can be personalised; podium presentations take place for all races. A family campsite for tents and caravans is available within the castle grounds, with pitches starting at £30.
