12th Midnight Man 10th/11th August 2024
News update 03/10/24
It is with a sad heart that the Midnight Man will not be taking place in 2025. The local area is getting so busy now Saturday afternoon and evening we feel that its unfair on the local residence.
Its been one of my proudest achievements putting together a long course Triathlon and running it successfully for 12 years. I have had the privilege of meeting some amazing people and watching them complete the Midnight Man Triathlon.
Its not all bad news we will be running a Sprint Triathlon on the 14th September on the Bridge estate. This will be going live next week.

Thank you all for taking part in this years Midnight Man Triathlon. We all hope you enjoyed the race. Stay safe and keep up the training.

We are pleased to say that there is no price increase at the moment. Sorry but this may change after Christmas. We try our hardest to keep our entry’s fees the lowest in the UK but every part of our race is going up in price.
So what ever happens we will still be the best Value full and half distance race in the UK.
To keep the price of the race so low we need to almost fill the race to cover the cost of running the event. If you can help us promote the race in any way that would be great
When I came up with this crazy idea 12 years ago I never thought we would make it to our 12th Year. It not been easy but its been fun and I have had the opportunity to meet some great people over this time.
All races will start at 6.00pm and most competitors should be finished before before the swimmers are out of the lake for the Midnight Man.
We now also have real toilets and showers on site.
We also have a tea wagon all night as well.
