Sandwell Aquathlon 2016

  Sunday 3^rd April

Haden Hill Leisure Centre & Park

Adult & Children Event suitable for

the whole family (beginner Friendly)

A great opportunity for adults, whether experienced enough for the Adult Hill Sprint which is one of the toughest run courses around, or beginners and the less experienced with the much shorter but still challenging “Undulating Novice distance”.

For the children a chance to race an event that feels much more like an adult event with its very different challenging course out where the public can see you rather than hidden away in a closed off environment.  Distances are shorter than in most events making this Event ideal for those new to the sport as well as the experienced. 

Can’t both swim and run; why not team up with a family member or friend and enter as a Relay team. Need a relay partner? Email the Event Organiser at oldburytri@gmail.com.

1st swimmers start at: 9:45am Haden Hill Baths

note 1 relay teams
