Triathletes on the run – on the track, road and cross country
With the World Triathlon Abu Dhabi postponed, the weekend saw many international athletes seeking out alternative racing options. I spotted quite a few of those – along with some past and present triathlon names – running around the world (or domestically), across a range of surfaces and distances.
Check out some of those below!

Richard Murray – no Abu Dhabi, so also jumped onto the track
Not the time I was looking for 14:17 for the 5000m . It’s the start of the season and it’s just first real rep over 1km so need to be realistic I guess … Great end of week 5k after some good weeks training and little taper . 2 days and we off to Netherlands 🇳🇱 😅 Good by warm pic.twitter.com/znfhC8VeE2

Lots of multisport athletes at the OSB Events organised Saucony Cambridge Half Marathon on Sunday. Top performance goes to Tom Vickery (three-time winner of Long Course Weekend Mallorca), taking four minutes off of his PB to finish fourth overall in the 11,000+ race with a swift 1:07:57.
(Full results). A few others I noted:
- Thomas Davis – 1:09:54
- Jack Schofield – 1:11:38
- Sam Proctor – 1:14:06
- Kimberley Morrison – 1:22:57
- Davina Greenwell – 1:28:41
