70 Wild Miles

Glencoe, Scotland

This Scottish charity triathlon doles out pain and pleasure in equal measure. Its 47-mile cycle, 10-mile paddle (in a canoe) and a 13-mile run will test the most weathered tri vets, but the views you’ll enjoy as you make your way up and down winding highland roads, across a loch and along woodland trails should give you the inspiration to keep going. There aren’t many 70 Wild Miles race places left so sign up today.

Blenheim Triathlon

Woodstock, Oxfordshire

Britain’s second largest triathlon takes place in the sprawling grounds of this massive country pile. There’s no Olympic distance triathlon at Blenheim so it’s well suited to those who aren’t quite ready to step up to the full distance, but still want to take on the testing endurance challenge that the sprint category offers. The 750m swim takes place in the Great Lake, the cycle along a windy 20K woodland route, and the 5km run snakes around the palace’s smaller lake Queen Pool.

Bluewater Sweatshop 10K

Greenhithe, Kent

The family-orientated Bluewater Sweatshop 10km is being held on scenic Kentish roads around Bluewater, Europe’s leading retail and leisure destination. As well as the main run, there’s a 1km race for children who want to run in the footsteps of their race-loving parents and a race village, where you can get your hands on top running kit and enjoy a few post-run tunes.

Race entry is normally £20, but Men's Fitness readers can get a £5 discount by entering the promo code MFHFM at www.bluewater10k.com. You'll also get a race pack, which will include an adidas technical t-shirt and 20 per cent adidas discount voucher.
