There are now just 200 places for the Big East Triathlon to be held on 11 May 2014 in Bradwell-on-Sea, Essex, UK. Last year all the entry slots were taken by the end of March; and organiser Dengie Events fully expects the event to fill up again in 2014.
This popular early season event gives athletes a choice of ‘Middle Distance’ (1.6K swim / 82K cycle / 20K run) or ‘Challenge Distance’ (800m swim / 43K cycle / 10K run) and is open to individual athletes and relay teams.
The Big East Triathlon is set in an ideal location for triathlon and is well suited to anyone preparing for the season ahead or in search of a new challenge. Based around the quiet and scenic Essex marshes and taking in an inspirational run course, the Big East Triathlon has received great feedback every year since its introduction in 2011.
2012 Challenge Distance Winner Martin Jessup had this to say of the event… “I had a great day, the organisation was excellent with plenty of friendly marshals and stunning views. Out of the tri’s I’ve entered the Big East Triathlon was by far the most enjoyable.”
The event will take place at Bradwell Marina in Bradwell Waterside, Essex, England. The triathlon runs alongside the Tour of the Dengie Cyclosportive & Fun Ride.
The event consists of an open water swim in the River Blackwater, a cycle around the quiet and scenic roads of the Dengie Peninsula and finishes with an inspirational lapped run around the sea wall and marshes passing the historic St Peters Chapel.
