The winners of the 220 Triathlon Awards 2017 have now now been unveiled. The UK-based magazine asked readers to vote for their favourites in 21 categories, from elite athletes through to ‘innovative product of the year’. There was no awards ceremony this year, which was a shame for those in the UK tri community and industry who’ve enjoyed the (at times drunken) bash in previous years!
Instead, the winners have received confirmation via e-mail – with the awards making their way to them over the coming weeks. Congratulations to each award winner:
