n 2010, the organisers will continue to run the events over a
weekend with the Junior Novice Aquathlon on Saturday 14th August
2010 along with the FREE 1 Mile Family Fun Run (Fancy Dress optional
but welcomed). It is hoped that this will be a family friendly day
with added attractions for all during and after the event.
The Erewash Triathlon will take place on Sunday 15th August 2010 and
we have opened the event to experienced triathletes as well as
novices - 400 in total. To ensure fairness, the organisers will
split participants in to one of these two groups so that they are
competing against competitors of the same level. The Triathlon
involves three sports - Swim, Bike and Run. Entries can be from
either individuals, teams (consisting of three people with each
person completing all three sports) or relay teams (consisting of
three people with each person only doing one sport).
This weekend is a great introduction to the multi-sport events of
Aquathlon and Triathlon so if your up for something new with your
family, friends or work colleagues give the event a 'Tri'. Each year
we have more people returning to take part and we want participants
to enjoy the experience of the day!
Thank you to all those that came along to the launch event on
Sunday 18th April 2010 at West Park Leisure Centre, Wilsthorpe Road,
Long Eaton. The event started with presentations from partners about
the events as well as an opportunity from 11:00am to have one-to-one
discussions about the events, your preparations and training
opportunities with the event organisers and clubs.
