Qualify for the East Midlands Team
Rather than selecting the team from a points system via the East Midlands Series we will be recruiting from a larger pool of athletes who stand out or show potential in the races, then meeting as a group for training days* where we will perform trials to determine the strongest team.
Having a larger pool of athletes to select from will promote healthy competition and simulate the feeling executing a key race.

Darley Moor Duathlon: 27/05/2023
Staunton Harold Aquathlon: 11/06/2023
Mallory Park Triathlon: 25/06/2023

Other relevant information such as swim (200m) and run (1500) times and previous performances from multisport events can be submitted for consideration, lease also provide the link for these results. If the times are not on Power10 (includes Park Run) or the British Swimming tables, then an email from your junior/s coach to verify the submitted times will be accepted.
