Northwich Aquathlon at Moss Farm Leisure Complex
23 April 2009
Youngsters and adults across Cheshire West and
Chester are being urged to sign up for a sporting challenge.
The Northwest Junior Aquathlon series draws to
a close on Sunday May 3 as Warrington Triathlon Club host the
inaugural Northwich Aquathlon at Moss Farm Leisure Complex.
The series, which has covered Manchester,
Bolton and Chester, will be the final chance for the multi-sport
stars of tomorrow to pick up points in their quest for regional
glory.
The Aquathlon begins with a swim in the indoor
pool, followed by a run around the sports field.
The event is open to children from the age of
eight through to adults. The junior categories allow children
of similar ages to race against each other over the two disciplines
in a safe environment as the whole event takes place within the
complex and involves no road crossing.
The racing distances vary with each category
according the British Triathlon guidelines so there will be nothing
that will be beyond anyone who can swim and run.
The race has the backing of Triathlon
England following a stringent risk assessment and the
triathlon shop and coaching facility, Tri Central, which is
providing prizes.
The categories for the race are:
- Tristart - 8 year olds
- Tristar - 9 to 10 years
- Tristar 2 - 11 to 12 years
- Tristar 3 - 13 to 14 years
- Junior/Youth - 15 to 19 years
- Seniors - 20 years upwards
Entries close on the April 29. Entry forms are available at the
reception area of Moss Farm Leisure Complex or at www.warringtontri.co.uk.
