Thistle Insurance Services has confirmed its partnership with the Brownlee Tri Series as Official Insurance Partner. To celebrate this partnership with the series, customers of Thistle’s specialist insurance brand Triathlonguard will benefit from a 10% discounted entry to the events.
The Brownlee Tri Series consists of two events in 2014:
- Brownlee Tri South – Petworth House and Park, West Sussex (Sunday 15 June)
- Brownlee Tri North – Harewood House near Leeds (Sunday 21 September)
Triathlonguard will also give those customers who register for the races before 30 April 2014 the chance to win a signed Alistair and Jonny Brownlee t-shirt.
In addition to the Brownlee Tri Series, Triathlonguard is also the Official Insurance Partner of the Castle Triathlon Series and also key events in the IMG Challenger World UK portfolio, such as the London Triathlon and Blenheim Triathlon.
The Brownlee Tri Series and Triathlonguard have a shared vision of helping grow the sport of triathlon in the UK, following the inaugural Brownlee brothers backed event last year. The Brownlee Tri Series aims to encourage people to get involved and experience triathlon, whilst Triathlonguard works with triathletes and industry professionals to educate race participants on the benefits of specialist insurance cover.
Triathlonguard cover has been designed to meet the needs of triathletes and offers peace of mind for participants who are both training and competing in races. Triathlonguard was designed in consultation with industry experts and triathletes themselves, including elite athlete Harry Wiltshire.
Jonathan Brownlee said “We welcome Triathlonguard as The Official Insurance Partner for the 2014 Brownlee Tri Series.”
Product Director at Triathlonguard Adrian Scott added, “The Brownlee brothers are among the most famous names in global triathlon; so to be partnering with this series of events is very exciting for Triathlonguard customers. Relationships such as this one are a natural step for us and the combination of tailored insurance and discounted entry to a leading race is a compelling offer for any triathlete.”

- Cover while competing, which covers bike and triathlon equipment beyond the limitations of most household insurance covers
- No bike lock requirements during organised triathlon events, ensuring transition time isn’t impacted
