Timex WomenOnly Triathlon

 

Congratulations

Congratulations to all the incredible ladies who took part in the 2008 Timex WomenOnly Triathlon on Saturday 12th July. Despite the strong winds it was a truly wonderful event and all the ladies supporting Breast Cancer Care looked fantastic in their pink running vests. From everyone at Breast Cancer Care thank you for supporting us both through your fundraising and physical efforts.

For more information on next years event please email your details to the address below and we will contact you with more information in the coming months.

About the event

Following the success of last year's event, the TIMEX WomenOnly Triathlon is back!

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

2007 saw over 800 women compete in this event - the only female only triathlon staged in the UK - and we hope 2008's event will prove even more popular.

Taking place at the world renowned home of rowing, Dorney Lake in Eton, the WomenOnly Triathlon caters for all abilities and ages and provides a fun and friendly, non-intimidating environment. You can even enter into the team relay with your girlfriends, so there's a 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.

Distances

Novice: swim 200m, bike 5km, run 2.5km
Sprint: swim 400m, 20km, run 5km
Challenge: swim 800m, bike 30km, run 7.5k
Relay Challenge (2-3 people): swim 800m, bike 30km, run 7.5k
