New for 2026 - Activity Wales Events adds extra events on to the schedule.

We’ve been listening to our athletes, reviewing feedback, and taking a long, hard look at what makes an unforgettable race season — and for 2026, we’re going bigger than ever before.

The Activity Wales Events calendar is growing, with more events, more variety, and more opportunities to challenge yourself throughout the year. This is the biggest expansion to our schedule yet, and we’re thrilled to share what’s coming.

The Classics Are Here to Stay

First things first – your favourite races are all still firmly on the calendar. The iconic:

• Mumbles Triathlon
• Swansea Triathlon
• Wales Triathlon
• Saundersfoot Triathlon

These crowd-pleasers remain the backbone of our season, offering fast, friendly, and unforgettable racing across some of Wales’ most scenic coastal towns. Whether you’re chasing a personal best or experiencing the atmosphere for the first time, these races continue to define multisport in Wales.

And of course, the ever-growing Swansea Swim and Swansea 5K – events that have become essential warm-ups and season-starters – are back and better than ever.

So, What’s New?

We’re stepping things up with 11 brand-new events, each designed to bring something unique to the calendar and give athletes even more to train for, experience, and celebration.

Here’s what’s being added:

• 4 new Open Water Swims – Dive into stunning new venues across Wales, ideal for both seasoned swimmers and newcomers. These swims offer distances to suit all abilities, in safe and beautiful environments.
• 5 additional Running Events – From scenic 5Ks to challenging 10Ks and half marathons, these new runs provide more chances to lace up and hit the road. Perfect for building up to triathlon season or simply staying race-ready year-round.
• 2 brand-new Aquabike Events – For those who love to swim and bike but prefer to skip the run, our Aquabike events offer the same adrenaline and atmosphere as our triathlons, with less impact on the joints and fresh appeal for multisport fans.

 

Our community is growing — and so is the demand for diverse, well-organised, and inspiring events across the year. We know not everyone is training for an Ironman or a full triathlon, so this expansion opens the door for all athletes, from first-timers to veterans, to find their perfect challenge.

Whether you're working towards your first finish line, building a full race series across the season, or just looking for an exciting day out with friends or your club, Activity Wales Events 2026 will have something for you.

Full event listings, dates, and entries are now open. Make sure you're signed up to our newsletter and following us on social media so you don't miss a single update — or a single start line.

2026 is shaping up to be our biggest, boldest, and most inclusive season yet — and we can’t wait to welcome you to it.
