Local Triathlons in 2013

[Tarbo]

With a couple of people showing a bit of interest in the Ruthin Sprint Triathlon, I thought I’d put a list together of other triathlons that are taking place locally.

The events listed are all taking place in North Wales, so not too much travelling involved, and they are a mix of distances to suit all capabilities.

There are three different distance events listed, these are sprint, standard and middle. The distances of each event are listed below; however some triathlons vary slightly to accommodate the course.

The swim is pool based for the sprint and either lake or sea for the other two distances.

Sprint – 400m swim – 25Km Bike – 5Km Run

Standard – 1500m swim – 40Km bike – 10Km run

Middle – 1900m swim – 90Km bike – 21Km run

So take your pick from the events below ;D

Chirk – Sprint Distance – 28/04/2013 (Sold out already)

Rhyl – Sprint & Standard – 09/06/2013

Bala Middle – Middle Distance – 09/06/2013

Llandudno Sea Triathlon – Standard – 29/06/13

Eirias Park – Middle Distance – 03/08/2013

Llanrwst – Sprint Distance – 01/09/2013

Bala Standard – Standard Distance – 08/09/2013

As well as these events, there are also a number of events just over the border which are not easily within travelling distance.

Wilmslow – Sprint Distance – 12/05/2013

Marbury Park – Sprint & Standard – 09/06/2013

Macclesfield – Sprint Distance – 18/08/2013

South Manchester (Wilmslow) – Sprint – 22/09/2013

Do you know of any for kids 12 and 9. The boy did the one at erias last summer and loved it, came second. My daughter, 12, would like to have a go.

I think there's a 'kids' one at Ruthin on the Saturday prior to the adults race which is on the Sunday. I have no idea what distance the kids race is, but can find out if you want

There are aged categories plus a super-sprint and a sprint, so plenty of choice on distances.

Note category depends on age on 31 December 2013 not age on the day.
