Spectators

Ripon Triathlon Festival is a jam packed weekend for the whole family. 

Our lively event village has a great atmosphere and there are plenty of places to cheer people on during the races, including one the glory lap and at the finish line. 

During the day on Saturday there will be plenty of activities for all ages to enjoy. 

​

 The Event Village will also have plenty of options for eating and a range of exhibitors, including some renowned sporting brands as well as excellent local businesses. 

​

We have a whole host of activities for children including circus skills, bouncy castles, and triathlon taster activities. 

​

On Saturday afternoon and evening, we will have a packed schedule of entertainment including live music, and Q&A with double-Olympic champion Alistair Brownlee, complimented perfectly with a host of food & drink options. We’d recommend camping on site to make the most of everything on offer.

Exact timings will be released closer to the event.

​

Ripon and the surrounding area of Nidderdale (ANOB) are a beautiful place to explore. Ripon was recently voted one of the best cities to visit in the UK by The Telegraph. 

​

“Yorkshire's smallest city is nigh-on perfect, especially for heritage buffs. Medieval cathedral? Tick.

Ancient marketplace? Tick.

There are also independent shops, courteous traffic and three rivers looping around its edges to frame the loveliness. Visitor highlights include quirky museums and the nearby Fountains Abbey.”
