Breast Cancer Care Events

Shock Absorber WomenOnly Triathlon

 

3 July 2010

Breast Cancer Care is once again the official charity for the Shock Absorber WomenOnly Triathlon working alongside Human Race, the UK’s leading multisport (triathlon, duathlon & running) event organiser.

Taking place at the Olympic rowing venue for the 2012 Olympic Games, Dorney Lake in Eton, the Shock Absorber WomenOnly Triathlon caters for all abilities and ages and provides a fun and friendly, non-intimidating environment. If you can’t run, swim and cycle there is also the option to enter into the team relay with your girlfriends, so there's reason for everyone to get involved with the UKs fastest growing sport.

Dorney Lake offers a clean, open water swim, followed by a closed bike loop around the Lake and finally, a flat run along the side of the lake. The event can be approached in three ways; from the very accessible Novice (200m, bike 5km, run 2.5km) through to Challenge (swim 800m, bike 30km, run 7.5k), making this triathlon the perfect course for beginners and seasoned triathletes alike.

So why don't you set yourself a challenge and take part to raise funds for Breast Cancer Care?

Distances

Novice: swim 200m, bike 5km, run 2.5km
Sprint: swim 400m, 20km, run 5k
Challenge: swim 800m, bike 30km, run 7.5k
