πŸŽ™οΈ Episode 23 – World of Triathlon LIVE powered by TriDot | Set to Unite the Multisport Industry at ExceL London with Stuart Walker, Founder and Event Director 

πŸŽ™οΈ Hosted by Matt Ward (Supersonic) 

In this episode, we sit down with Stuart to talk about how it is a collective effort to get more people into doing triathlon, and what inspired Stuart to sign up for his first triathlon and learn to swim when he was 41. We also find out about his background in the exhibition space and what led him to put together the UK’s only dedicated multipart exhibition.

World of Triathlon LIVE powered by TriDot will bring together the entire multisport community on 28-29 March 2026. Designed as the ultimate destination for everyone from newcomers to elite athletes, the event offers an exciting platform for brands to connect directly with a passionate and curious audience, creating the largest triathlon brand activation and retail experience in the country.

We dive into:

  • The volume of people in the UK doing triathlons already 
  • The perceived barriers of entry 
  • The goal of getting 10,000 people to the show, including swimmers, cyclists and runners 
  • Stuart’s vision for the next few years 
  • How to get involved and be there in March
