Entry Forms Released for the 2008 Taunton Deane Foot Anstey Triathlon
The highly sought after Taunton Deane Foot Anstey Triathlon Entry forms will be available from this weekend.
You can obtain a form in two ways – from 4th January in person at Tone Leisure Sports Centres including Wellsprings Leisure Centre, Blackbrook Pavilion, Wellington Sports Centre or Taunton Swimming Pool or, from Sunday 6th January, by downloading a form on the event website www.tauntondeanetri.co.uk.
Last year all 400 places were filled in just two weeks so we urge you to get your entry in early to guarantee a place this year.
Taunton based solicitors, Foot Anstey, continue to sponsor the Triathlon which is being organised by Tone Leisure and local triathlon club Somerset RC Tri.
Andrew Hannam, Partner at Foot Anstey said “We are delighted to be sponsoring the Triathlon again. It is such a great event for the athletes and their families, with plenty going on throughout the day. It is important for Foot Anstey to make a contribution to community events like the Triathlon. Our sponsorship helps improve the facilities for the athletes and we are looking forward to working closely with the event organisers again to help make the day a real success.”
This year’s race is on Sunday 18th May 2008. There is a Sprint event for the more experienced athletes and a Novice event for those who have completed less than three triathlons in the past. Both events have male and female categories in the age groups of Junior (16 -20), Senior (21-39), Veteran (40 -49), Super Veteran (50+) and Vintage Veteran (60+).
The Triathlon is one of the most popular sporting events in the South West calendar, reaching its maximum capacity of 400 competitors every year. This great community event attracts complete beginners right through to the elite - drawing from sports clubs across the South West region and beyond.
The triathletes will use the Wellington Sports Centre swimming pool for the swim element before taking to the quiet roads for the cycle ride (towards Milverton and Wiveliscombe) and then a mixture of footpaths/quiet lanes for the run.
