Event Details

n its tenth year, the Castle Howard Triathlon will be the fourth
weekend event of the 2019 Castle Tri Series and will once again feature
the obligatory picture postcard backdrop and a course with something for
every level of triathlete. Indeed, the 13,000 acre grounds of Castle
Howard form arguably the most physically demanding triathlon course of
the Castle Tri Series.

Race entrants will start the race by swimming through Castle Howard’s
Great Lake before transitioning into the technical bike route through
the glorious rural idyll of Yorkshire and the Howardian Hills. The
spectacular run leg passes through the undulating countryside of the
estate before a sprint finish tops everything off in style right in
front of the main doors of the house.

220 Triathlon listed The Castle Howard Triathlon as a ‘must-do’ race.

The House was officially opened to the public in July 1952 by Mr George Howard. The opening, which was marked with bunting, games and tours of the House delivered by George Howard himself, heralded the beginning of a new chapter in the history of the House which has been lived in by successive generations of the Howard family for over 300 years.

On 31st July 2019, Howard Day will feature family fun activities, free admission for anyone with the name ‘Howard’, and the launch of a new initiative being penned as ‘Capturing the Castle’, a crowd sourced photo exhibition project.

More information on Howard Day family fun activities coming soon. Free admission for anyone with the name ‘Howard’ includes those with Howard as their first name or surname.
