The Vachery Triathlon, to be held on 21 July 2013, aims to offers participants a ‘big event feel’ in a stunning location in Surrey, UK. The organisers expect to welcome over a thousand triathletes to the standard or middle distance races over the course of the event weekend. With a private spring-fed lake, closed road bike section and a closed road run through quiet country lanes, the Vachery Triathlon is aiming to stand out on the UK triathlon calendar.
The Vachery Triathlon organisers have released a preview video with a look at the swim location and an in-depth analysis of the bike course. There are some top tips to be taken away about pacing and how to get up the iconic Leith Hill (twice!).
The event promises to offer something for everyone, with on-site camping within the Vachery Estate, an exhibitor’s area featuring the latest in triathlon gear and produce from local suppliers, plus fun activities for all the family who can take in the atmosphere and countryside whilst athletes race.
On-course nutrition will be supplied by GU Energy. Racers can choose to compete in either the Middle (half-iron) or Olympic distance races, either individually or as part of a relay.
The Vachery Triathlon Festival is located just outside the picturesque village of Cranleigh in the Surrey Hills, only minutes from London and the motorways, M25, M23 and M3. The organisers are also happy to talk to clubs about arranging special start waves for them to facilitate club championships.
