Participants hoping to take their place at the start line of the 2016 edition of the Bloodwise Blenheim Palace Triathlon, held on 4-5 June 2016, are encouraged to sign-up fast to a charity pledge place to avoid disappointment.
With less than 500 places available and general entries already sold out, triathletes should visit theblenheimtriathlon.com to secure their spot at the UK’s most stunning triathlon.
Perfect for first timers and seasoned triathletes alike, the Bloodwise Blenheim Palace Triathlon offers distances of super-sprint (400m swim, 13.2km bike, 2.9km run) and sprint (750m swim, 19.8km bike, 5.4km run) as well as the option to participate as a team relay.
Set in the grounds of Blenheim Palace, the Oxfordshire World Heritage Site and birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill, participants are treated to stunning views throughout, with the swim taking place in the freshwater lake and the cycle and run segments set to the backdrop of the palace, its sculptured gardens and rolling countryside.
Matt Lawley, Head of Sports Events at Bloodwise, said, “Our partnership with the event has gone from strength to strength over the past three years, helping to raise over £1.75 million to help beat blood cancer. We are delighted to be involved once again in 2016 and look forward to seeing thousands of triathletes take to the beautiful course in June.”
For 2016 the event has undergone a name change, due to a rebrand of the Official Charity Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research, now known as Bloodwise.
Bloodwise is the UK’s biggest blood cancer charity dedicated to improving the lives of patients with all types of blood cancer, including leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma. Its life-saving work is focused on finding causes, improving diagnosis and treatments, and running ground-breaking clinical trials for all blood cancer patients.
