A huge thanks to everyone involved in today's Kernowman!

From the marshals, athletes, spectators, everyone who chipped in to help at the drop of a hat, everything is hugely appreciated! There are too many people to thank.

We couldn't have asked for better conditions today. We hope everyone enjoyed whichever distance you were doing, from Juniors, all the way up to the 70.3 distance race and thanks for being part of it.

The results email with links to photos and post race info will be sent out tomorrow, for now, the results from today are in the link below (I'm currently at the pub, tired and wanting a pint).

With 450 athletes, plus stalls, spectators and everything else in-between, we hope we gave Marazion and Cornwall a good showing putting on a big event, you couldn't get much more tucked into the corner of the UK!

There's a few things we can improve and things athletes seemed to really like. I'll be meeting with Marazion Town Council, who are unbelievably supportive and helpful around the event, to put plans in place for Kernowman 2027, we hope to see you all there!

Cheers,
Ben, Mum, Emily and everyone that keeps these grassroots events going

Registration marshals needed X2

Due to a couple of last minute drop outs, I'm in need of 2 people to help at registration if anyone is free from 5:30 until 6:45 on Saturday morning please?
Free race credit as a thanks as usual. Perfect if you're already racing too!
If you are available, please sign up via the volunteer button at the top of the page on this link. T.I.A

Also, I need 2x people for water cover for the Junior event from 3-4pm on Saturday.
If anyone is proficient in the water, part of a surf life saving club, a lifeguard etc, please drop me a message or email me. This role is paid in cash! Simply being in the sea guiding the juniors around the course.

Go long in 2025, with Cornwall’s only 70.3 distance. Shorter and Junior distances available, all in-front of the iconic St Michael’s Mount.

Kernowman Entries close in just 48 hours!
The long range forecast is looking promising (touch wood) and the sea should be pan flat, perfect conditions for a race!

We still have a couple of marshal spots for the senior race that needs filling (one more in transition and one more swim counter) for the senior event, as well as run course marshals for the juniors.

There are new rules around towel usage that have been introduced by British Triathlon. Perfectly summarised in the post below.
Worth a read ahead of Kernowman next Saturday

Rules change all the time in sports, and one of the biggest responses we often see is “I wasn’t aware of that”

It’s always a good idea, especially at the start of the season to give yourself a little refresher on anything that might have changed… th worst feeling is posting a fantastic time, only for it to be listed as a disqualification…

One big change this year is towels!

Read below !

Size Restriction: Towels or blankets used in the transition area must be a maximum of 12” × 12” (30cm × 30cm).

Placement: The flannel must be placed either directly inside your shoes or rolled up neatly beneath your assigned racking bar.

No Marking Space: You cannot drape a large towel over your bike, use it as a brightly colored floor mat to reserve space, or hang it in a way that infringes on other competitors.

No Towels in Non-Swim Events: Towels or flannels are not permitted at all in events that do not contain a swim segment.

Don’t be caught out! Be ahead of the game!

A huge thanks to for again providing on-course nutrition for Kernowman and Tavistock!

They are supplying the aid stations with their maple energy gels and maple coffee gels, as well as their new Sustain electrolyte range, which will be pre-mixed into cups that can be grabbed on the go.

Aid stations will be located near the end of the lap on the bike, so riders can quickly stop and refill.
There are 2 aid stations on the run. One at the start of the run lap and the other at the Penzance end (far end of the run course). Meaning you have access to nutrition twice every lap, every 5km/3 miles.

A huge thanks to Protein Rebel for supporting us once again. Protein Rebel Ambassador and Cornish Tri Series regular (and last year's Cornish Tri Vet champ) will also be on the start line of the Olympic. A shoe in for the overall win!

While there are options available, I'd advise grabbing on the go, rather than perusing the selection, like in the first photo...

‼️ Kernowman entries close in one week‼️

Enter by midnight next Tuesday (26th May) to ensure your name is on the start list.

With a variety of distances from 70.3 down to Super sprint for the seniors, plus a Junior Aquathlon in the afternoon, there's something for everyone.
This year we also have the addition of trader stalls from Marazion town, with them showing their full support for the event by being part of it.
Healey's will also be on hand supplying cans of their new range for athletes to try and refuel with post event.
No 64 Bys Vyken Running will have a pop up stall for any running needs (and last minute panic buys) you have on the day.

Last but not least, Protein Rebel are back supplying all of the on course nutrition, a huge thanks to them for keeping all of the athletes fed and watered on course. A chance for everyone to try their new "Sustain" electrolyte range!

This is shaping up to be a huge event, come down and be part of it, whether that's racing, volunteering or supporting!

🦺 Kernowman Volunteers needed🦺

We are still short of bike marshals for Kernowman on 30th May, as well as an extra pair of hands for other roles, like finish line, transition etc.

If you're free and able to help out, please consider signing up, you will get yourself a FREE ENTRY (plus a bit more towards a second) as a thanks for helping.
There is a bike cut off in place, meaning the absolute latest you'd be out until is 1pm.

If you are able to help out all day (about 8 hours) you will get £100 in credit! 🤑 That's two full races worth for free!

We also need helpers for the junior race in the afternoon too. If you're a parent watching, why not do it with a hi viz on?

As always, you can get a FREE ENTRY as a thanks, if you're able to stay for the full day (about 8 ish hours), you'd receive £100 in volunteer credit! That's over 2 free entries!

We hope the training is going well, not long to go now!
