UK Triathlon Announce Inaugural Henley-on-Thames Triathlon
Saturday, 1st December 2007
UK Triathlon are pleased to announce the inaugural Henley-on-Thames Triathlon which is taking place on Sunday the 13th of July 2008! This new and exciting venue at Henley Leisure Centre is situated just outside the picturesque town of Henley on the edge of the Chiltern Hills and the banks of the River Thames. The town is perhaps best known for the annual Royal Regatta, which attracts some of the world's finest rowers.
The swim discipline takes place from the indoor swimming pool followed by the cycle course which is flat with some undulations and takes in many fields and trees in this rural route through the Oxfordshire countryside. The final run discipline is on grass around the picturesque grounds of Gillotts school. The triathlon is on at the same time as the Henley Festival and assures a great weekend away for all the family. There are limited places available for the 2008 event, so secure your place and enter now at www.uktriathlon.co.uk
All the 2008 events are now open for entry and Stratford 220, Cheshire and the Gatorade BIG HALF Triathlons have only limited places left! If you wish to compete in any of these events next year, secure your entry today via the website at www.uktriathlon.co.uk
The last Swim-Run event of 2007 is on Sunday 16th December from the Snow Hill indoor Swimming Pool in Nantwich, South Cheshire, of which there are still plenty of places available. However, the January, February and March events are almost full as there are only 150 places available per event. Each event starts from 10am and are ideal training motivation for the pre triathlon season.
Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances the Ironbridge Triathlon will not take place in 2008. The event is planned again for 2009!
