On the 15th and 16th September 2012 Rother Valley Country Park will be the venue for the 5th multi event triathlon festival organised by One Step Beyond Promotions, in association with The British Triathlon Federation, The Rotherham Advertiser and Rother Valley Country Park.

The festival aims to engage the local community, children and adults, as well as attracting athletes from around the country. 2012 will see a change in format with the introduction of our new 1 mile Big Swim. The Big Swim will be event No. 3 of the festival.

The Sprint event has been selected as a qualifying event for the 2013 European Sprint Triathlon Championships.
