Fowey River Lions Club organised their first triathlon in September 1984. This was a first for Cornwall, in what were the early days of this exciting sport.

In the twenty events, which Fowey River Lions Club have run, only one had to be shortened due to inclement river conditions. The event has been modified annually and has become an important date for both competitors and the local area.

For a mini-triathlon, the course is considered very challenging and takes in the communities of Polruan, Lostwithiel and Fowey. Competitors start and finish on Fowey Town Quay.

Any proceeds from the event are donated to charity. Over the years charities such as The Children's Hospice South West, Multiple Scheroses, The Mermaid Appeal (Brest Cancer Unit), Polruan R.N.L.I., Fowey Brownies St. Johns Ambulance and Polruan Fire Cadets.

Fowey River Lions Club members look forwarding to welcoming you, competitor or supporter to this year's event.
