Taunton Deane Triathlon and Junior Aquathlon
Supporting community events is important for Foot Anstey and we were delighted to sponsor the 10th Taunton Deane Triathlon which took place at Wellington Sports Centre.
The event attracted over 400 entries from individuals and sport club members and the race was split into two categories, novice and sprint. The novice event was open to anyone new to this challenging sport whilst the sprint event, involved double the distances and was aimed at the more experienced athlete.
Apart from sponsoring the event, Foot Anstey had ten enthusiastic entrants who had trained and completed the gruelling course.
The event was organised and marshalled by Tone Leisure and the Somerset Tri Club and was well supported by family and friends of the competitors. A running commentary was provided as the athletes came in and out of the transition areas and finally through the finishing line.
In addition to the main Triathlon, Foot Anstey also sponsored the Taunton Foot Anstey Junior Aquathlon which took place on 16 September. Now in its fifth year this event had over 150 competitors between the ages of 8-16, it is hoped that this event which sees junior athletes competing in the two disciplines of swimming and running will progress in years to come to the main Taunton Deane Triathlon. www.tauntondeanetri.co.uk
