Places for the Tri Sport Epping Try a Tri on Sunday June 21st at Ongar Leisure Centre, Essex, are going fast!!

If you are a wannabe triathlete or novice, the Try a Tri offers you 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.

This years event,sponsored by Tri and Run (www.triandrun.com) 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.

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.

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 website www.trisportepping.co.uk
