Builth Wells Aquathlon set to return in August 2025
A sporting challenge is returning to Builth Wells to raise money for a cancer support charity.
The Builth Wells Aquathlon will take place on Sunday, August 10, 2025, in support of The Bracken Trust.
Adam Johnstone, co-organiser of the event, said: "Feedback from last year means we now have two events and we are open to age 13+.
"We've kept the price down and you can choose either a 400m swim / 5k run for £15 or a 200m swim / 3k run for £10, or walking is fine.
"If this is your first multi-disciplinary event, we will offer an onsite walk-through to explain it all and answer any questions you may have."
The headline sponsor for the 2025 aquathlon is PAR Homes.
Paul Rowland, owner of PAR Homes, said: "This sounds like a fabulous event, and when I found out that it was for The Bracken Trust, I didn't hesitate to offer my support.
"The charity does such amazing work and provides a vital service for those people living with cancer."
Organisers also thanked a host of other sponsors for making the event possible.
Helen Tuite, co-organiser, said: "We are so grateful to PAR Homes and the following organisations.
"Without their generosity, we wouldn't be able to run this fabulous event."
Freedom Leisure Builth is offering a special swim or fitness membership to all participants, along with a Swimfit class to help improve technique.
The deadline to enter is August 3.
