Accessible & relaxed, entry level events aimed to showcase the great nature of multisport events.
As with the regular triathlon season, the GoTri season is also in full swing with many clubs in the South East region all set to host their 3rd event of the year. As with all GoTri events (the clue is in the title) they are intended as a fun way to access triathlon for the first time. Join in swim, cycle or run training sessions or take part in your very first triathlon event.
Both GO TRI training and events are available locally, very reasonably priced, with manageable distances which have been purpose-designed for beginners.
Just to highlight the variety of the events in your region, here are a choice few coming up in the next few weeks
GoTri Spelthorne. 29th June (no.3 of 6 events) £7.60
Open Water Aquathlon - Consisting of a 200m lake swim & 3km off road run, this is a great opportunity for anyone interested in open water swimming. With a strong emphasis on enjoyment & completion, the Monday timing is an ideal way to start the week with a new experience & new event under your belt.
GoTri Tandridge 28th June
Aquathlon - The same distances are The Spelthorne GoTri but this time in a pool setting for those who aren’t up for the open water swimming. Held at the De Stafford Sports Centre in Caterham, the facilities are excellent & the kit you need is minimal. Do you have a swim costume & trainers? Yes? Then you can do this event (goggles are helpful also). Email sports@tandridgetrust.co.uk for info.
GoTri Uckfield Thursday 2nd July 7pm £8
Triathlon - Another weekday event, this time a full 3-discipline event for you to get a taste of what a real triathlon is about. The distances are short to allow the challenge of combining all 3 disciplines to be enjoyable & short enough to be relaxed about. With a 100m (4 length swim), 3km bike – absolutely any bike will do as long as it’s in a roadworthy condition (with brakes!) + cycle helmet, then into a 2km run to finish off.
