The Alnwick Sprint Triathlon based at Willowburn Sports Centre and held at the beginning of May was always a popular season starter - an event suitable for both beginners and experienced triathletes. Unfortunately the 2020 and 2021 editions were cancelled due to Covid. And in 2022 the club took the decision that the changes in the road layout in the vicinity of the centre meant that the venue was no longer viable. Instead the club staged a successful Go Tri triathlon at Amble Yacht Club with an open water swim in the Coquet estuary in September 2022. 

We are excited to be building upon this test event with an open water sprint tri, again at Amble Yacht Club, on Sunday 23rd July . This will be a full sprint distance 750m swim, 20km bike and 5km run. We will still be aiming for a friendly event perfect for both inexperienced and seasoned triathletes. There will be a maximum of 100 entrants and the swim waves will be split into a maximum of 25 per wave with the first wave off at 7am.  Cost will be £60 + day race license for non-BTF members and entries are now open at: https://entry.eventsupnorth.co.uk/races/vc7w2 Enquiries to sprint.tri@alnwicktriathlon.co.uk
