For most of our team, it’s not often we get the chance to stop and enjoy what so many people travel to Bala for.

For years, Bala Adventure & Watersports has proudly provided the safety cover for Bala Tri, helping make the event possible while ensuring competitors can take on the challenge safely.

It’s a commitment that has sometimes come at a personal cost. Nearly 25 years ago, Mark almost missed the birth of his child as he rushed back to the centre to manage the event. Thankfully, thanks to a false alarm, Sarah was able to be there too!

Stories like these are a reminder of the dedication, passion, and teamwork that go on behind the scenes of every event.

Good luck to everyone taking part in Bala Tri this year – we’re proud to continue supporting such an incredible event in the heart of North Wales. 💙
