Tri Sport Epping will once again be holding their annual 'Tri A Triathlon' on Sunday June 21st at Ongar Leisure Centre, Essex.

The club first held the event in 1990 as part of the Today's Runner sponsored series and have continued to hold it every year since. Always full well in advance of race day it has sometimes been necessary to hold a second 'Tri Again' event later in the year to contain the over subscription!

The Try a Tri offers first timers a chance to participate in a grass roots event with a pool swim and a club atmosphere which benefits those who may feel intimidated by high profile open water events and seasoned triathletes with their expensive bikes and equipment. The event consists of a 300 metre swim with a two lap 21km cycle ride and a flat 4km run to ease competitors gently into their first triathlon experience. There are no prizes as all who take part are winners and all participants are treated to a souvenir tee shirt and filling post race breakfast.

The club now offer online entry via entry central or by visiting the club's recently re-vamped website www.trisportepping.co.uk

Tri Sport Epping is also looking for sponsors for this year's event.
