We are excited to announce that the inaugural SYS Aquathon will be held at Harthill Reservoir on Saturday 20th June, 2015.
CLICK HERE TO REGISTER FOR THE SYS AQUATHON
The race(s) will start at 1pm, but entrants will need to be at the venue to sign-in by at least 12.30pm. You’ll need the time to set up your transition area!
We are thrilled to be working with Yorkshire Outdoor Swimmers (YOS) and Chesterfield Triathlon Club (CTC) to bring this fun and friendly event to Harthill reservoir. The team from YOS will be providing their usual excellent water safety with CTC supplying their expertise in marshalling and timing the run.
The SWIM-RUN event will give entrants the choice of 2 courses – the short course, which includes a swim of 250m and run of 1km, and the long course which consists of a 750m swim and 3km run.
Entrants MUST make their choice of course on the registration form.
The SYS Aquathon is open to all athletes and budding athletes alike, as long as you are 13+ years old.
The entrance fee for the event is ONLY £7.50 plus your swim fees*
You can register HERE. Registrations close at 9am on 20th June.
There will be other AQUATHONS coming soon, at different venues around South Yorkshire – see if you can get to them all!
(Oh, and just incase anyone asks: According to those much cleverer than us the words ‘Aquathlon’ or ‘Aquathon’ can both be used to describe a swim-run event. They are interchangeable. We are choosing AQUATHON, as we think it sounds better – and besides which, who says “marathlon”???? Ed.)
[*Swim fees are payable to Yorkshire Outdoor Swimmers on the day – if you are a YOS member with a valid membership card your swim fee is £3. To become a member it is £10 – which includes your first swim]
