Reminder Junior Duathlon Wednesday 14th July – 6:30pm start

This duathlon (run/bike/run) preceeds the Senior and Novice duathlon as part of the Summer Club Nights events at Fowlmead Country Park.  It’s a very informal and friendly event to encourage anyone to have a go at a duathlon.

The Junior race takes place on the top circuit only at Fowlmead so no big hills to tackle and distances are reasonable for children to complete.

All you need to bring with you is a road worthy bike, a helmet and suitable clothes to both run and cycle in.

Parents, Guardians and Friends!!

After the Junior race there is the opportunity for anyone new to the sport to take part in the Novice duathlon race.  Just bring your own bike (road, touring, mountain or anything as long as it’s road worthy!!)  and give it a go! 

Again the distances will be significantly shorter but will give you a taste of a duathlon.

Please arrive at Fowlmead with sufficient time to put your name down for the race, get the info about the race and get your gear together and up to the start of the track – there will be lots of people around to help you out so please ask if you’re not sure where to go or what to do – we’re here to help!

Junior Swim Sessions Saturday

Juniors Swim  Session on Saturday are now run by Darren Beeching.  Darren is no stranger to the Club and many of the longer term members will remember his personal swim ability and his coaching of  our old Sunday swim sessions for many years. Darren himself put in some great triathlon, cycling and running performances, so he knows his subject. The Junior session  is a swim training for those children and youngsters wanting to improve their technique and all round ability in the water.  This will involve working on all four major swim strokes together with competitive starts, turns, rules and regulations. These sessions will be progressive and  those attending need to be committed to attending every week in order to achieve results!  The session is currently run in conjunction with the 17:00 to 18:00 Club session.  Please be at the Leisure Centre at least 15 minutes before swim start as numbers are restricted.
