Following the success of the Wigan Schools Triathlon Day on 13th July 2010, we are resuming the Bike/Run sessions on Friday evenings at Leigh Sports Village 6:30pm until 8:00pm.  The cost of the sessions is £3 for children and £3.50 for adults - all welcome especially parents!!  Bring your own bike/helmet, no helmet  - no ride - this applies to adults also.

Over 80 Year 7 children drawn from the 20 senior schools in the Wigan area attended Leigh Sports Village today, they were split into 3 groups - and each group had a Tri in the pool, bike transition, and transition games over the 2 hour period.

The Schools Triathlon itself will be held on Tuesday 21st September in the morning, again at Leigh Sports Village where up to 100 then year 8 pupils will complete a 50m Swim, 1200m Bike and 800m Run to complete their first Triathlon.

Thanks to Leigh Harriers, Leigh Pool, Lesley Mcgreevy and the Schools sports co-ordinators for their assistance in making the training day a memorable experience for the pupils.  Also thanks to the TTW Events Team members - Carl Lane, Martin Holden, and Fiona Myers and British Triathlon coaches Matt Shillabeer and Rich Bardon. Oh and Jo Bishop for her verbal support from the side lines!
