Penrith Triathlon
Date: 29/08/2010
The Penrith Triathlon is run by Eden District Council in partnership with Arragon’s Cumbrian Tri Club
The course comprises of:
• 400m pool swim, started in waves.
• 22km bike loop on open roads
• 5km run on adjacent fields
The event will utilise chip timing, secure and numbered transition on an astro turf pitch with the route being comprehensively signed and marshalled at all corners and junctions.
As event organisers we aim to make this event the best it can possibly be with participant enjoyment the most important factor in the event as a whole. Each participant will receive a technical t-shirt, free meal (vegetarian option available) and a goody bag upon completion of the course. There will also be prizes/trophies for the mens, womens, team and vet categories.
Entries are encouraged from participants of all abilities, particularly those new to the sport or fancying a challenge similar to, but more varied than, a half marathon. Those who’ve never taken part before shouldn’t be put off by not being fully proficient in all 3 disciplines, everyone has (at least) one weak discipline, with times of 15-20 minutes for the 16 lengths of swimming common amongst previous participants.
However for those who don’t feel up to the whole event there also a team relay competition which requires a team of three to complete one discipline each. So dust down the old bike from the garage and get a couple of mates from your office to get a team together, it’s a great opportunity to raise funds for your favourite charity or get one over on the office next door, you never know, your boss may even pay for your team’s entry!
If you have any queries about the event, how to get there, what the route is, where you can stay etc. then please don’t hesitate to contact me at [email protected] or on 01768 212474.
A number of paper entries have already and will continue to be accepted up until the entry deadline.
If you’ve already entered yourself please pass this on to as many people as you think will be interested. To help the Facebookers amongst you there is a group set up for you to join and invite all your friends to take part too at:
