The Big Cow Cowman Triathlon, the third of seven events that make up the new look 2013 Triathlon England – National Championships, will be taking place this Sunday (14 July) at Emberton Country Park, Buckinghamshire, England.
The Middle Distance race will kick off with a 1.9K swim, followed by a 9.2K bike around the spectacular scenery of the park and finish with a 21K run taking place around the lake.
In 2012, over 700 triathlons, duathlons and aquathlons took place in England, with over 125,000 people competing in races and many of them for the first time. The Triathlon England – National Championships capture competitors from both first time novice entrants to seasoned athletes looking for national titles.
Jem Lawson, Chair of Triathlon England, said “It’s great news to see how interest in the sport is continuing to grow and we are excited to say that our 2013 Triathlon England – National Triathlon Championships is already proving very popular.
“With previous events selling-out, it shows the Triathlon England – National Championships are growing, and we hope that this in turn will encourage many more to get involved. Our memberships have been increasing steadily and we hope the value we offer will inspire more to get involved.”
Nigel Woods, of race organiser Big Cow Events, commented “We’re really excited to be organising another Triathlon England – National Championships event at Emberton Park after the success of last year. It’s a very picturesque location, which makes it all the more enjoyable for the participants and we’re sure it will be another great turnout from both triathletes and spectators.”
There are still four other events in the Championships series available to enter for all abilities, whether athletes choose to take part in a duathlon, aquathlon or race with their club in the Club Relays, there’s still time to achieve personal triathlon challenges in 2013.
