The Hathersage Hilly Sprint Triathlon
18th July 2010
(Swim 420 metres, Bike 20K, Run 7K)
The village of Hathersage lies in the heart of the beautiful Peak District National Park, and is easily reached from Sheffield, Manchester, Leeds and Nottingham. It’s an interesting and historic village with links to Robin Hood and the Eyre family; it’s also a popular centre for walkers and rock-climbers.
The 420 metre swim takes place in a heated, open-air pool with wide lanes making it enjoyable for swimmers of all abilities. There’s also plenty of room poolside for your supporters.
After the swim it’s on to the 20K bike and, with a name like the Hathersage Hilly, you know it won’t be flat! However, the hills are not so long or steep, and you’ll be rewarded with some stunning views of the Derbyshire countryside.
The 7km run is almost entirely through woodland and open countryside with off road running shoes being an option if it’s wet. Again, the run has a few hills but don’t worry too much - it’s a long, fast downhill to the finish line!
With your race over, there is a café at the swimming pool for hot drinks and snacks, and Hathersage village has plenty of tea shops, pubs, and outdoor pursuit shops to keep you busy.
Over the years, this event has introduced many novices to the challenges and rewards of triathlon, and we intend to maintain that tradition this year.
So whether you’re a first timer or a seasoned triathlete looking for something different, sign up now to enjoy racing at the Hathersage Hilly 2010.
