In an evening aimed at celebrating Britain at its best, the British Triathlon Club and Event of the Year have been recognised at the Annual Awards Dinner on Saturday 12 November 2011.
City of Chester Triathlon Club won the British Triathlon Club of the Year award. The club was formed in 1994 and over the last 17 years has promoted the sport to athletes at all levels and abilities, driving membership to over 500 members.
The club aims to cater for all ages and provides a diverse events programme, which includes the 2009 British Triathlon Event of the Year the Deva Diva Triathlon.
A representative for the club felt the award was recognition for the clubs approach to supporting its membership commenting: “It’s great! It’s the culmination of a club that has been going for quite a long time now, it’s a club that is run for the members, by the members, and it’s a great privilege to be a part of that club. It’s an expanding club, we have over 500 in it now and this really is a great combination for us.”
The Outlaw Triathlon won the British Triathlon Event of the Year award after delivering a long-distance triathlon that focussed on providing a high quality, friendly and well-priced event in the well-known multisport hotbed of Holme Pierrepont, Nottingham.
The event has created a unique identity for itself within the triathlon community, which will no doubt go from strength to strength over the coming years.
