This is one of the longest running and most successful triathlon events in the UK, if not Europe. The first Excalibur triathlon was organized in September 1988 at Port Eynon Bay, Gower South Wales.
Established as a national short course event (1500 metre sea swim, 40 K bike ride and a 10 K run) it has been the venue for both Welsh national championships and the British Triathlon Association (BTA) Grand prix events.
