Are you brave enough to battle it out at this year's Viridian Daventry Triathlon?

It takes place on September 12 and is once again being sponsored by Viridian Nutrition, and organised by Rugby Triathlon Club.

This 400m pool-based sprint race starts in the Daventry Leisure Centre, offers a 20km cycle section through the local Northamptonshire countryside and a scenic 5km run around Daventry Country Park. The race is suitable for first timers as well as experienced triathletes.

Marketing manager for Viridian Nutrition, Tom Welch, said: “We are proud to support the Viridian Daventry Triathlon along with Sheaf Street Health Store. Whether you are entering for the first time or an experienced triathlete, there are many benefits to taking part such as improved health and wellbeing, and social engagement.

“We are very keen to help people towards better health and love to support all things local.”

Tom said he hopes the event gets lots of support.

He added: “This race is set against Daventry’s scenic countryside in a friendly atmosphere and the support and camaraderie is always fantastic.

“I would certainly encourage people to enter.”

There will be road closures for the finish area, a T-shirt, and medal for all finishers and age category prizes.

More details will be released soon.
