26th June – Grassholme Triathlon
A standard distance triathlon, taking place in one of the most beautiful parts of the North Pennines. A hilly and tough course, but well worth the views!
A 1500m swim, 40km cycle and 11km run. Both the bike and run courses include decent climbs, taking in some of the most beautiful scenery there is… in our humble opinion. Where possible, the main roads have been avoided, with the majority of the cycle route and all of the run route taking place on unclassified, yet tarmacked roads.
We are extremely grateful to Northumbrian Water for allowing us to use the reservoir and to Teesdale Sailing Club for supporting our event.
