Last weekend saw the Bristol Triathlon 2022 take place in the city, with competitors racing along the likes of the Harbour, Cumberland Basin and the Portway. This year's event also saw new challenges for participants, in the form of different distances - the Sprint and Standard challenges.
The Triathlon, which is run by Tough Runner UK, has been dubbed one of the most exciting triathlons in the UK, with entry spaces selling out in quick time and leaving hundreds on the waiting list. And, from the looks of things, the 2022 event was a roaring success with no injuries, record crowds and a more accessible race in general, meaning more people had the opportunity to compete.
Adam Newton, one of the organisers of the event - and others like it across the UK - told Bristol Live that one of the main highlights from the race this year was the sheer number of people coming along to show their support. He said: "It was so busy - good busy - I have never seen crowds like it there.
