Birmingham residents can kickstart their 2017 New Year health campaign with a FREE beginner training day.

British Triathlon has teamed up with Handsworth Health and Wellbeing Centre to offer the beginner session to men, women and teenagers who want to get in shape or just give themselves a bit of a challenge.

Qualified triathlon coaches will run the fun-packed taster day from 11am to 4pm on February 19th. 

Helen Barklam, from British Triathlon, said: “These sessions are designed to show how fun and accessible triathlon really is and you don’t have to be Jodie Stimpson or Alistair Brownlee to get involved. 

“The taster day is great for people who want to give their fitness and health programmes a bit of a boost with properly trained and supportive coaches. Mixing different activities like swimming, running and cycling is a great way to get in shape as the different sports challenge different parts of your body. 

“Or, it might be that they would like to set themselves the challenge of entering one of our mini beginner GO-TRI triathlons and this is the training they need to start them on their journey.
