No Montgomery Canal Triathlon in 2026

Sadly, it’s been announced that there will be no Montgomery Canal Triathlon this year and a new appeal for volunteers to complete the organising team for 2027 has been launched.

The Friends of the Montgomery Canal concluded with regret that after losing some key members of the organising team they have not been able to hold the Montgomery Canal Triathlon this year.

Phase 2 of the restoration is taking shape. Over 5 days a great deal was achieved.

The latest work party organised by the Shropshire Union Canal Society recorded great success in lining and blocking a further stretch of canal towards Schoolhouse Bridge in Shropshire.

Montgomery Canal Triathlon is at risk

The Montgomery Canal Triathlon is at risk of not taking place this year

Some members of the organising committee have stood down after many years of service and as a result, there is an insufficient number of people to run the event successfully.
