24th SeptemberRhys H Qualifies for the European Triathlon Championships
We are delighted to celebrate the outstanding achievement of Rhys H, who has qualified to represent Great Britain as part of the Age-Group Team at the 2026 European Triathlon Championships in Tarragona, Spain.
Rhys secured his place last weekend at the Bournemouth International Triathlon, where he delivered a superb performance to finish 4th in the U20 Sprint Distance category. With the top four competitors in each age group earning automatic qualification, this result guarantees Rhys his place at the Championships.
The Bournemouth course is renowned for its challenges, beginning with a 750m sea swim, followed by a demanding zig-zag climb from the beach up to transition on top of the cliff, before a 20km bike ride and a 5km run. Rhys completed the event in an impressive 1:10:48, making the tough course look effortless.
His hard work and dedication across all three disciplines have been evident throughout the year, with constant improvements and standout performances. This was underlined again the very next day, when Rhys competed as part of an Olympic Distance Relay Triathlon, running the final leg and recording the fastest run time overall.
Rhys’s commitment, perseverance and sporting excellence are an inspiration to us all, and we are incredibly proud of his achievements. Representing Great Britain at the European Championships is a remarkable accomplishment, and we look forward to following his journey as he prepares for this exciting challenge in 2026.
