Tameside XL Triathlon and Adventure Festival

Sunday 4 October 2009

Tameside XL Triathlon

Tameside saw it's very first off road triathlon and adventure festival sponsored by New Charter Housing Trust Group on Sunday 4 October.

Hosted by Tameside Sports Services in partnership with UberFit Events, competitors from all over the country as far away as London embarked on Tameside to compete in what was described by many as a challenging course! Over 60 of the competitors entered were from Tameside and many had never competed in a triathlon before! 

They all survived the 500m swim in the Copley Centre pool, the gruelling 12km mountain bike course looking over the spectacular views of the Pennines and finally the 5km multi terrain run course.

Jenny Carson described the triathlon as a 'Brilliant event.’

Kevin Connaghan said ‘These events put Tameside on the map and has created a buzz around Stalybridge and its surrounding area. Do not let this disappear!'
