The popular Nuffield Health Eton SuperSprints triathlons are back on 21-22 May, and, after 14 years, event organiser Human Race, along with its new official health and wellbeing partner Nuffield Health, will welcome the 20,000th competitor.
To celebrate the milestone and the popularity of the event, the 20,000th person over the line will win a Human Race 2017 Triathlon Pass, plus a one year membership to a Nuffield Health fitness & wellbeing gym.
Billed as an official start of the UK triathlon season, Human Race adds that the larger number of participants in the event’s history confirms the Nuffield Health Eton SuperSprints as being an important event for triathletes. This is whether they are first timers or experienced athletes looking to get an early season fast time under their belt.
The Nuffield Health Eton SuperSprints start with a 400m open water swim in the clear and clean waters of Eton Dorney Lake, one of the iconic venues of the 2012 Olympic Games. Triathletes then take to the closed, flat road circuit for a 4-lap bike course covering 21.2K of the 450-acre parkland.
The final 5K run follows a two lap loop along the side of the rowing tank on tarmac paths. Each day will offer two ‘Mates Waves’, in which friends will be able to race together. There is limited capacity for these popular waves which sold out in 2015.
