National Club Relay Championships
The national club relay triathlon championships are held every year near Nottingham at the National Watersports Centre. It is a very special race and is always one of the big events for Serpentine each season. The race has a unique format with teams of four taking it in turns to complete each leg. When all 4 have completed the 400m swim, they then move to a 15k bike and finish with a 5k run.
It's the location and atmosphere that really make this race: you can see the whole swim, most of the bike and much of the run from the stands. With the women and mixed teams racing in the morning and the men in the afternoon you have a whole day of great spectating and racing while you soak up a really quite special atmosphere.
Details
Date: 21st August 2010
The race and campsite are at:
National Watersports Centre
Holme Pierrepont
Nottingham
The race has a later start than usual for triathlon: 9am for the morning race and 1.45pm for the afternoon race and although possible to travel from London that morning, cheap and easy accommodation is available at the centre's campsite which works out as a focal point for triathletes across the country at the after race party. Further information can be found on the One Step Beyond website.
Cost
Each team costs £158 but Serpentine are funding almost half of this cost so you only need to pay a £20 deposit (non-refundable). Serpentine will also pay the campsite fees for every member who races on a team. Non BTF members must pay an extra £5 for a day license. This is payable now and is non-refundable. BTF members must produce their membership card on the day or pay for a day license.
You don't need to have a team to sign up; we'll match you up with others of a similar standard to make teams. Of course if you do have others in mind for your team please let us know!
