Dear fellow Athlete, please can you let your fellow club members know that there is
ONLY 5 DAYS BEFORE ENTRIES CLOSE
In the Sandwell Aquathlon
To enter: go online to “www.entrycentral.com” and type Sandwell Aquathlon
Entry closes Monday 29th March, no on the day entries.
To those of you who have already entered; thank you, we hope your training is going well and your looking forward to Sunday 6th April at Haden Hill Leisure centre and Park. If you know of family or friends who may be interested but haven’t entered yet please forward them this Email.
In particular we would like to remind everyone that we except relay entry at a very reasonable price (dearest entrant + £4 per team) with team members being any combination of Adult/Adult, child/child, Adult/child of same or different sex. This is purposely designed to encourage participants who feel they cant both swim and run to be able to get involved in Triathlon (no excuses mom/dad).
This is very much a Novice Event with mostly shorter distances than normal, however for the Adults who fancy something very challenging the “Adult Sprint” 400m swim/5Km run involves one of the toughest (hilly) run courses in the sport.
Sandwell Aquathlon 2014
Sunday 6th April
Haden Hill Leisure Centre & Park
Both an Adult & Children Event suitable for
the whole family
An Aquathlon consists of a swim followed immediately by a run
So you like swimming or maybe you prefer running, why not put the two together and have ago at Sandwells very own Aquathlon. An Aquathlon is a Triathlon without the cycle section and the main starting place to begin in Triathlon. Distances are shorter than in most events making this Event ideal for those new to the sport as well as the experienced. For those more experienced, the Adult Sprint is one of the toughest run courses around. Can’t both swim and run; why not team up with a family member or friend and enter as a Relay team? Need a team partner? Then Email the Event Organiser at oldburystctriathlon@gmail.com.
