The annual 220 Triathlon Awards took place on Saturday night at a new location in Stratford Town Hall, in East London, close to the London 2012 Olympic park. The slick event was professionally hosted by 220 Triathlon Editor Helen Webster and Olympic 400m legend Derek Redmond.
The awards night had free-flowing wine and a well-received after dinner speech by Derek Redmond. Judging by the smiles and alcohol drunk by some of the award winners, the 220 Triathlon Awards are clearly seen as an important badge of honour to support marketing initiatives in the coming year!
