Triathlon at Wellington College

 

For information on Triathlon please contact Katy Granville-Chapman  email: kegc@wellingtoncollege.org.uk

 

Are you tough enough?!

 

Can you tackle a 750m swim, 20km bike and then a 5km run?

  

Would you like to improve your fitness and tone up using a variety of sports?

 

Could you represent Great Britain?

 

 

If so, why not try triathlon?

 

Three Wellingtonians and one OW have been selected to compete for Great Britain at this summer's World Championships in Beijing - Patrick Garratt, Harriette Johnson and Jo-Jo Blunt- could you join them?

 

From April, we'll be competing in triathlons of varying distances from a 200m swim, 15km bike and 5km run, all the way up to a 1500m swim, 40km bike and 10km run at the selection race for the World Triathlon Championships.

 

We'll also race in biathlons (swim 100m and run 1000m)
