A strong elite men's field has been announced for the 2010 GE Parc Bryn Bach Triathlon, which will be held on 19 September. The event, which is the last of the five-race British Triathlon Super Series, also constitutes the finale to the GE Great Britain Triathlon Team's season following their return from the Dextro Energy Triathlon ITU Triathlon World Championship Grand Final in Budapest.

Big names such as Alistair Brownlee, Jonathan Brownlee, Olly Freeman and Will Clarke feature on the start list for Blaenau Gwent event.

Within the 50 British senior names, eight of the final top 10 from the 2009 British Triathlon Super Series will be participating, including Stuart Hayes, Aaron Harris and Phil Wolfe who finished first, second and third respectively.

There will also be local interest in Welsh athlete Luke Watson, who will be looking to impress at his home race.

Aaron Harris, 22, who won the 2009 Parc Bryn Bach Elite Triathlon, is looking forward to getting back on the course, but is not necessarily expecting to take the win this year having not raced since June due to injury: “It will be great to go back to Parc Bryn Bach and compete. I'm not anticipating a podium finish but am keen to take part and see what happens after missing the past couple of months.”

Jonathan Brownlee, 20, the 2010 ITU Elite Sprint Triathlon World Champion, is keen to finish his season on a high as he races for the first time at Parc Bryn Bach: “This year has been a real breakthrough year for me, and I want to finish the season with a win. It will be great to race at Parc Bryn Bach as I haven't competed there before and I've heard it's a challenging course.”

Heather Williams, Performance Director at British Triathlon, is looking forward to the finale of the Super Series and is delighted at the quality of the field: “We are obviously pleased to have the level of field which we have for this final Super Series event. Having staged events at Parc Bryn Bach in previous years, we know the course will provide a good test for all the athletes taking part in the race.”

Alongside the Super Series, the British Triathlon Inter Regional Championships (Tri Star 2, Tri Star 3 and Youth categories) have been incorporated and will showcase some of the best young triathlon talent the UK has to offer.

Also included in an action packed race schedule are the British Elite Triathlon Championships, and the finale of the 2010 British Triathlon Youth and Junior Super Series.

Triathletes as young as 11 will be racing for national titles over the challenging course in the Welsh Valleys, which has played host to elite triathlon for the past three years,

GE is the Elite Team Partner of the British Triathlon Federation providing support and expertise for the athletes as they prepare and compete at the highest levels in the run up to the 2012 Olympic Games.
