Welcome to the Sea Ilfracombe Maritime Triathlon

Hello and welcome to the Sea Ilfracombe Maritime Festival Triathlon, this year we hope to expand on the massive success we had at the 2011 event which saw 186 athletes conquer ‘The Mother of Short Courses’ and if you were one of those 186 you’ll know what we mean.

But don’t let that put you off entering, this event is ideal for all levels. We would like to encourage newcomers to Triathlon to enter our event, we’ll do what we can to offer help, advice and guidance to make this an awesome rewarding challenge.

If you’re still not sure and wish to spread the workload or dip your toe into the triathlon world why not enter a team.

We are keen to see teams throwing down the gauntlet to other local teams. Which Surf lifesaving club will come out on top, is your football/rugby/hockey team the fittest in the area…..let’s see.

 

This year we are hoping to raise funds for Help for Heroes and the Royal Marine Charitable trust, two great charities close to hearts here in North Devon.

We are also pleased to announce that we have been chosen as one of the challenges that the Hosties 4 Heroes are taking on in their mammoth effort to raise money for Help for Heroes in 2012. This is a team of Virgin Atlantic cabin crew who have entered numerous tough events around the country to raise as much money as possible for Help for Heroes. For more information on the Hosties and how to donate to their fund go to their pages on Facebook and twitter.

If you are entering and wish to fund raise for either H4H or the RMCT please go the relevant website and register your intentions, like wise if you want to raise money for a charity personal to yourself let us know we can also add you to our website and help get the money rolling in.

We will also donate what we can to the many local charities and clubs who help us make this event possible.

Go on give yourself a goal for 2012, after all it’s the Olympic year and your year to tame THE MOTHER OF SHORT COURSES !
