The event is the last of eight British Age-Group Championships in 2012 and will provide the perfect finale in the natural triathlon amphitheatre of the National Water Sports Centre in Nottingham.

 

The event involves teams of four using a tagging format where everyone completes a 500m swim, 15km bike and 5km run. With British titles at stake, there will be some serious racing on the closed course that enables your teammates to cheer every athlete over all three disciplines.

 

David Bishop, who was part of the Loughborough Triathlon team that won the men’s relay category last year is looking forward to the weekend’s event:  “I’m really excited about the Relays. I’ll be racing with Tom, and it’s one of my favourite races of the year!”

 

Sam Parker, 18, from Kegworth, who will be racing for Huub TFN added:  “It looks like there will be a good fight between the top teams and I’m looking forward to being part of one of the Huub TFN men’s relays. It’s always a great event for everyone, whether they’re aiming to win or just have fun.”

• Male: Four males any age

Ian Braid, British Triathlon Director for Major and National Events, added: “The British Club Relay Championships is a perfect finale to the British Age-Group Championship season, providing an opportunity for club triathletes to celebrate their seasons and compete one last time for British honours. To take part in any of our British Age-Group Championships is always a memorable occasion for any athlete, and with the opportunity to compete alongside fellow triathletes with fantastic crowd support , I am sure we will see some fast and exciting racing at Holme Pierrepont.”
