YOUR TRIATHLON SEASON STARTS HERE...
The UK’s open water triathlon season gets underway with our very own Eton Super Sprints over the weekend 15/16 May. The Saturday Eton SuperSprint is now full, but we are still accepting entries for the Sunday May 16th race. Alongside the event we will also be offering a Triathlon Training Day, Open Water Swim Training and a kids Scootathlon. From then on over the summer months, it’s an action packed Human Race triathlon race season. Highlights include the Nokia Windsor Triathlon and the Ultra Fit Challenge Triathlon - encouraging corporate team entries, as well as hosting the intra Club Triathlon Championships. We’ll also be continuing our evening 220 Triathlon Series, which is the perfect wind down after a day in the office on the last Wednesday of every month.
We’ve got a whole host of events for women too - from a 5km and 10km walk/ run to a newly sponsored Shock Absorber WomenOnly Training Day on the 23 May and the Shock Absorber WomenOnly Triathlon on 3 July.
It’s time for the kids to take to the action and the parents to be on the touch line - following such an interest in our Children’s Open Water Swim Triathlon we’re encouraging kids aged 4 - 16 to take part in a selection of events so they have their very own day.
Additionally we’ll soon be announcing an exciting new Open Water Swim Event at a new venue and a family focused fun day - so keep checking the website for details.
Look forward to seeing you soon.

Training Events Now Taking Registrations!
Start your season by tackling the Saucony 10km Run on 14th February at 10:30am
A new course has been designed following the recent bad weather to avoid the Sandown Race Course. The new route will take place on hard surfaces around the Sandown complex, which should help runners achieve some faster times and keep them closer to spectators around the route.
