Eirias Triathlon entries now open
Challenging standard and middle distance races return to Colwyn Bay this September, with KoM challenge to feature once again
If you like sea swims and rolling hills on the bike then this one’s for you – the Eirias Triathlon will return to north Wales on 26 September, with a top field expected once again.
Both race begin with a sea swim at Porth Eirias, with the middle distance+ race involving a 1,900m swim (two laps), 106km cycle and 20km run. The standard distance+ race takes place on the same course and includes a 1,500m swim, 53km cycle and 10km run.
Last year’s race saw Welsh Commonwealth Games athlete Carol Bridge take the overall title in the middle distance+ race, beating the male winner Christof Knoeri by over 3mins with a time of 5:23:48.
The King of the Mountains special stage will be repeated again this year with the aim of finding the best climber in each race: the KoM climb will be included at the beginning of each lap, details here.
Registration to The Eirias Triathlon is open now with individual entry fees of £90 for the middle distance and £65 for the standard distance race. Team relay entries are available for £125 or £75 respectively.
Entries close on 16th September 2015 or when sold out – register here.
