Southwell Sprint Triathlon in Nottingham on Sunday 13th May will take place. The only change to the already popular event will be that the run will now be out and back laps, rather just an out and back. The organisers say there are still a few places left, the limit is 500 and already over 400 have signed up. If you fancy your chances against the likes of Andy Tarry, Craig Twigg or Jodie Swallow, you can get an entry form from their website.

The North of the Tyne Triathlon, which was to have been held on 27th May, has been cancelled. Unfortunately, the bike route (and any alternative) is virtually a tour of the farms in South Northumberland infected with Foot and Mouth...

Due to lack of advance entries for the Lomond Biathlon and Junior Triathlon next Sunday (8th April), the organisers have had to cancel them. It's hoped to reschedule them later in the year when all the uncertainty over Foot and Mouth is over, any updates will be posted to their website.
