The East Midlands Regional Committee is pleased to announce a number of children's novice training days across the region.  These days are for those children in the region that are just setting out in the triathlon and wanting to do their first event and getting ready to take part in the East Midlands Junior Race Series.

Last year saw a large increase in the number of children taking part in the East Midlands Junior Race Series.  This increase has continued to grow which is a huge positive for the sport of Triathlon.  The East Midlands Regional Committee wants to support this growth by providing further opportunities for junior triathletes that are just starting out in the sport.  Therefore, the Regional Committee has asked junior clubs to put on a Junior Novice Training Day before the start of the coming season.  The aim of these days is to provide a training day for children that have not completed in more than 3 multi-sport races in readiness for the 2014 season.

All of the novice training days take place before the Mark Tanton Memorial Triathlon as this is being held as a children’s novice race.
