Woodhall Spa Triathlon

This year Woodhall Spa will become the launch event of the Midlands Sprint Triathlon Series. Over the past four years this event has grown from under 200 competitors, to nearly 500 competitors in 2009. In 2010 we are planning to implement a number of small changes to further improve the quality of this exciting event.

When people think of Lincolnshire, what is the first thing to pop into their heads? We would say striking open countryside, vehicle free country lanes and wide-open skies full of sunshine. (We do live in Lincolnshire). When describing this event, then all of the former is true.

The venue Jubilee Park offers a perfect mixture of relaxation and recreation. The recreation, or should we say triathlon, should not cause you much hassle either, especially if you choose to camp at Jubilee Park - only metres away from the swim, transition and finish areas. The swim takes place in a massive 33 metre, heated outdoor pool, before then progressing to the bike section. It is safe to say that the bike course is as expected, along beautiful traffic free country lanes and very flat. The run course is straightforward and equally flat.

This event is simply great and ticks all the boxes. For those that have never completed a triathlon before, this event is ideal. For those that race every weekend, then come along and test yourself here, see if you can make it under the magic hour - No one has yet!!! Make it a weekend away - there is something for everyone to do - kids, parents, grandparents and even the dog.

The Midlands Sprint Series has developed massively since its introduction in 2007 with over 6,000 athletes taking part in at least 1 series event, so why not join them and get involved! 2010 will see a change in format meaning you need to complete all 3 events to be eligible for a series victory.
