7Oaks Tri Club have joined with Tri-Topia Holidays (www.tri-topia.com) to offer a holiday at each of the 2009 Sevenoaks Sprint Triathlons which are being held on Sunday 19th April and Sunday 20th September 2009.

All competitors who attend the race will have their numbers entered into a draw with the recipients being picked out at the prizegiving following the race. Competitors will need to be at the prizegiving to win this prize!

Tri-Topia is situated in France's beautiful Loire Valley at the heart of the Brenne National Park. They are easy to reach and located within miles of unspoilt countryside that is not only a perfect training venue for the triathlete but also one that the non-athletes and families will enjoy as well. Tri-Topia have a fully equipped gym as well as an endless pool and sauna; while the Brenne area offers many lakes in which to swim, miles of undulating, traffic free-roads for cycling, and picturesque woodlands for cross-country running.

Tri-Topia has been established by Sam & Lee Thomas after hosting ski holidays in the Alps. The former farm buildings have been converted into comfortable en suite accommodation. The food is prepared by Lee, an experienced chef, with much of the food grown in the family's own small holding.

Sam Thomas commented “we are pleased to be able to offer these prizes to competitors at the Sevenoaks Sprint Triathlons and look forward to welcoming the winners to Tri-Topia. 7Oaks Tri Club has an excellent reputation as a club and for hosting races - we look forward to working with them”.

Race Director Simon McLaughlin added “yet again the Sevenoaks Sprint Triathlon offers athletes more than just a well organised race and picturesque course. One athlete will go home from each of our aces with a holiday as well as a medal and an excellent goody bag. We believe this demonstrates that 7Oaks Tri Club events offer excellent value to all competitors”.

The prize at each race will be a holiday for two people to include en suite accommodation, full board to include three course evening meal with all wine and soft drinks, full use of facilities ie. gym, sauna and endless pool, transfer to and from airport or train station if required, full guidance and accompanied cycle routes and transport to / from the local lake when needed. The winner will provide their own transport – bikes and wetsuits are available for a small hire charge. Full details will be made available to the winner.

Furthermore, all competitors of the Sevenoaks Sprint Triathlon will receive a discount on Tri-Topia holidays booked within a month of the race.

The Sevenoaks Sprint Triathlon to be held on Sunday 19th April has sold out. Entries for the next race (Sunday 20th September) will be open in May.

7Oaks Tri Club welcomes members of all abilities and experience to join the club and participate in the many club sessions that are available. Details are available at www.7oakstriclub.co.uk.
