North Wales-based event operator Always Aim High has announced that it will be the new organiser of the Harlech Triathlon from 2018 onwards. A popular UK triathlon, the Harlech Triathlon is noted for its 6km run route, which culminates in the ‘Storm the Castle’ section – a 200 step ascent into the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Harlech Castle and the finish line of the race.
She continued, “I am very pleased that they have agreed to take over the management of Harlech Triathlon from 2018. They’ll work with local companies to make sure the triathlon keeps its ‘unique personality’ and brings maximum benefit to Harlech as a tourist destination. Always Aim High are also giving the town £1,000 each year as thanks for the continued support of local companies.
Tim Lloyd, Director at Always Aim High said “We are super excited to be working with the team at Harlech Triathlon next year. As it happens, this was the first triathlon I ever raced in, so it’s a race which is close to my heart and an honour to be able to return in an official capacity in 2018.
Entries for the 2018 Harlech Triathlon will open on Monday 3 July 2017.
