British Triathlon EventsWelcome to the British Triathlon events section. Here you will be able to find full listings of all events registered with the Home Nations, as well as details of National Championships, the National Ranking Series, the Corus Elite Series and Corus Kids of Steel along with all the information you need to organise your own event safely and successfully. About UsIn 2007 over 600 events took place in Great Britain, including triathlons, duathlons, aquathlons, relay races and rowathlons. Ranging from a 25m swim-800m bike- 600m run for Tristars to long distance races for the ultra fit; the events also varied in size starting from a few dozen competitors to the world’s largest mass participation triathlon event “The London Triathlon”. All of these events offer discounted entry fees to Home Nations members and because they are sanctioned by British Triathlon you can be assured of a safe, fair and most importantly, enjoyable competition. British Triathlon’s and the Home Nation’s goal is to facilitate event organisers to provide quality events for our members to take part in. To achieve this, organisers can call on the support of British Triathlon for any advice or support they may need. Additionally British Triathlon actively lobbies on behalf of the sport to make more open water facilities accessible to triathlon, and to encourage local councils and police forces to support the sport allowing it to continue on its impressive growth. In 2008 it is predicted that the number of events will increase in the UK by 20%. British Triathlon also organises and supports top class elite racing, supporting the BG Salford World Cup since 2003 and the ETU European Duathlon Championships 2007 and organising the Corus Elite Series hence providing our elite athletes with the best possible competition here in the UK. In addition to this, British Triathlon’s long term events strategy includes the aspiration to bring European and World Championships to our shores, along with supporting the organisation of the upcoming London 2012 Olympics and Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth games.
