Triathlon-4-All challenge returns to Bath this May

Sign up for the I Can & I Am Triathlon on 16 May in Bath



Families, friends and first-time challengers are being invited to take part in an inclusive, confidence-boosting event this spring as Bath-based charity I Can & I Am hosts its Triathlon-4-All on Saturday 16 May 2026.

Designed to be accessible to all abilities, the I Can & I Am Triathlon-4-All combines cycling, kayaking and running or walking, with each element tailored by participants to suit their confidence and fitness levels.

The event will be based around Dundas Aqueduct, with every stage starting and finishing at the historic canal location.

The day begins with a cycle ride along Bath’s popular traffic-free routes, including the Two Tunnels cycle path and the Bristol to Bath Railway Path. Participants can choose to ride 10km, 20km or 40km, or simply turn back when they feel ready.

After returning to Dundas Aqueduct for lunch (participants are asked to bring their own), the challenge continues with a team kayaking session on the canal. No previous kayaking experience is needed, with four-person kayaks used and distances chosen to suit each group.

The final stage is a run or walk along the canal back towards Bath, with suggested return distances of 3km, 5km or 10km, or a relaxed stroll for those who prefer a gentler finish.

The event runs from 8.30am to around 5pm, with participants invited to round off the day with a drink at the Wheelwright Arms pub.
