LIVE results for the series can be found here

WGT was created during the first COVID lockdown, back in April 2020. The first competition was based on time, similar to the GC in a cycling grand tour, and saw almost 200 Welsh triathletes taking part. Our first WGT winners were Frances Owen and Ben Goodfellow – both of Wrecsam Tri club.

Since then, we’ve ‘enjoyed’ racing over six more series, including the first ever Welsh Triathlon Virtual National Champs), a Winter 2020 WGT Series (where we welcomed the Scots for the first time) and AG competitions with IRL National champions from North and South.  A big thank you to Clifton Coffee who have been involved from the very start. We’ve also been lucky to work with Welsh Triathlon and Triathlon Scotland, and welcomed JOOV Sports on board in the latest series (Winter 21/22).

On this page you’ll find all previous series results. There are also links below to get involved on Strava, social media* etc, and to sign up. Happy racing!
