Just Racing has confirmed that Triathlon England will be supporting the Weymouth Triathlon on 14 September 2014 – part of the Challenge Weymouth race weekend – by including the middle distance event in the Triathlon England SW Region Senior Triathlon Series.
Alan Rose, Challenge Weymouth Event Director said “It is great we have been included in the England SW Region Senior Triathlon Series, as it helps promote Weymouth as a triathlon location to a larger audience and opens the sport up to more in the local area.”
The alliance with Triathlon England for the Weymouth Middle Distance Triathlon follows a recently confirmed Challenge Weymouth Reward Scheme. The scheme has been introduced to celebrate the first year of the Challenge Family’s UK event in Weymouth, and further maximise the strong local links that have been forged by the events team.
Triathlon England’s South West Region Senior Triathlon Series has been established to encourage those both new to the sport of triathlon and more experienced athletes to take part in and enjoy some of the best races that South West England has to offer.
It is also designed to encourage and support club participation in a competitive race series. The events in the series offer participation over race distances varying from sprint through to middle distance; pool based and a variety of open water swim courses in all areas of the region, across the 2014 race season.
Participation in the series is as an individual male / female athlete, whilst the South West Club Championship sprint and standard distance titles will be decided at the TriBristol event on 29 June. This is based on clubs’ best performances – 4 overall (2 male/2 female) – in each distance.
