Keswick Splash & Dash
Entries are
now open for the Mountain Festival Splash
& Dash. A 400m lake swim followed by 5 laps
(5000m) around Crow Park, 7pm on Friday 21st May. So if
you are making it a weekend for the triathlon on the Sunday,
and why wouldn't you, its a great warm up and a bit off
fun before well earned refreshmentl in one of the town's
many fine hostelries. Only 50 places.
All New Stockton
Triathlon For 2010.
Plans are
now well underway for a revised Stockton Triathlon. Stockton
Borough Council (SBC) will be working  with
local triathlon organisers TriHard for the 2010 race. SBC
are extremely keen to stage a top quality triathlon in the
town. The Riverside and Teesdale areas certainly have the
makings for a great urban triathlon course. To that end
a completely new fully closed road course has been proposed
with transition based on the Riverside rather than the at
the Tees Barrage. The cycle course will be more compact
and spectator friendly with competitors being visible up
to 4 times per lap in places. The run will be along the
riverside footpaths between and over the Castlegate Bridge
and the New Infinity Bridge (pictured). Our plan is to put
together a great race in 2010 that we hope will enjoy good
regional support and then have something to put to British
Triathlon for a National Standard event for 2011. There
will be both Standard and Sprint distance open water races
on Sunday August 22nd and possibly a pool based mini race
on Saturday 21st. Entries and full details will be available
on this site shortly.

Keswick Race fills
in 2 1/2 days.
However all is not lost if you missed out. At the
time of writing there are justl 43 of the
150 places in the short race left. It is also a very spectacular
course (see below) and will be very much a part of the Mountain
Festival. Don't risk a second bout of disappointment enter

Second Sprint Race
for Keswick Tri. There will
be a sprint race held in conjunction with next year's Keswick
Mountain Festival Triathlon. The
race will be 400m lake swim then 1 lap of Derwentwater on
the bike, 17.5k, then a flat 5k run along the lakeside paths.
Entries are limited to just 150 and open on this site only
on November 1st.
Entries for TriHard's
2010 races open on November 1st. This
is an important date
particularly if you
are hoping to enter the Keswick Mountain Festival Triathlon
as all 300 entries went in 6 days last November. Good news
concerning Keswick is that we have been allowed to increase
numbers to 350 for 2010. We have also submitted plans for
a shorter distance race to be run in conjunction with the
main race at Keswick. But that has not yet been been approved
by the land owners, however you can rest assured that an
announcement will be made on this site the moment we get
an answer. Entries to some races
by other organisers have already opened on this
site and are already flowing in. 2010 looks like being a
bumper year for events in the north with quite a few new
races taking shape. It doesn't look like there will be many
gaps in the calendar.

Just when you thought
it was safe
to think about the end of the season and relaxing in front
of the fire and not worry about triathlon for a few months.
What happens? Entries start opening for the 2010 season,
that's what. Entries
are now open for the brilliant Ripon weekend of triathlon
and other fun starting on Friday 9th July with the race
itself on Saturday afternoon.
Are you attending Helvellyn Tri this weekend? This
will be the site that greets you at the transition field.

And what a day it was, congratulations to all taking part
and thanks to all the marshals that made it happen. Here

Thanks..For
the magnificent response for marshals for ADIL this weekend.
We should now have enough to give the race really
good cover. I know we were making a generous offer, but
we value our helpers so much we are more than happy to look
after them. Should be a cracking weekend especially if the
weather holds.
Keswick Photos..The
stunning location of the Keswick Mountain Festival Triathlon
deserves the
best photographers. We
have been so lucky this year with

Some pictures are there now, but each has more to come.

Duathlon 2009 ...
certainly our first race of the year and I'm sure the same
for most of you competing out there. Fine wins for Richard
Hunt and Donna Edmondson-Booker in the two lap race and
congratulations to Victoria Croxford and Henry Blackett
first lady and man in the shorter race. For those of you
who saw competitor 220, on the return of the leg of the
cycle in need of some medical attention, he is fine, a bit
bruised and shaken but nothing worse, also the refreshments
and t-shirts sale for the Multiple Sclerosis Resource Centre
made a grand total of £370 for which Ailsa Scoby is
very grateful, all she needs to do now is run London Marathon!

James
Cracknell to start Keswick Mountain Festival Triathlon.
Not only is James Cracknell giving a talk
at the Keswick Mountain Festival about his recent race to
the South Pole but he is to start and compete in the Triathlon.
It’s naturally a thrill to have a high profile athlete
taking part in the event, but to have a double Olympic Gold
Medal winner and multi-world champion is simply brilliant.
James is clearly an outstanding athlete, but the fact that
he is willing to take part in other events away from rowing
demonstrates that he is also a true sportsman.
Keswick
Splash & Dash and 10km trail race.

Veazey-French in 4:01:30. Also very well done to
Sally Smith 8:03:26 who's effort and determination
is at least equal to that of the front runners. Many thanks
once again to all our marshals who, I'm sure you'll all
agree did a sterling job over the whole weekend in the set
up and on the day. Thanks also to our sponsors Arragons
Cycles, Lakes Runner and Wilson's of Kendal.
