People's Triathlon - Sunday 29th July 2012
... it's for everyone!
Take on a swim, bike, run triathlon in 2012 over a distance you can achieve
UK Triathlon are proud to be supporting this brand new event in our Olympic year. The aim of the People's Triathlon is to get everyone involved with the sport and to embrace the national spirit. With distances to suit every ability, this prestigious event will take place at the beautiful Dearnford Lake venue in Whitchurch, Shropshire on the 29th July.
Following the open water swim is a cycle around the country roads followed by a run around the lake. The inaugural People's Triathlon has very limited space and is expected to fill fast so make sure you enter early.
You can take part individually or with your friends as a relay team of three and if you like you can raise money for a charity!
As you cross the finish line you will be awarded your commemorative 2012 medal to keep for life for your personal achievement in our Olympic year.
The People's Triathlon is centrally located and open to all abilities nationwide so enter today and secure your place in one of the most prestigious and spectator friendly triathlon venues in the UK.
