The 1066 Triathlon
First Stride Events is thrilled to be bringing triathlon to the 1066 coastline. The 1066 Triathlon follows the route of William the Conqueror through the heartland of 1066 country with a sea swim landing on the shores of Bexhill and transitioning in the stunning De La Warr Pavilion before heading into the 1066 countryside for the bike leg before returning to run along the fast and flat promenade, with views a plenty and a wonderful historical touch.
Sprint, Standard and Middle Distance options are available meaning there is fun for all abilities. With a friendly atmosphere throughout and everyone gets a finishers medal for their achievements!
Prizes for Top 3 Males and Females in each event will be sent out the week following the event.
