Jekyll & Hyde Park duathlon – Entry details & call for helpers

… this is our race and your chance to give something back to the London multisport community and to your club, so entries won’t be accepted from Serpentine members unless they have the permission of the Race Director (me!). You must get my go ahead before putting your entry in and you should do that soon because entries sell out quickly. I will accept entries from two groups of worthies; our top athletes and our selfless helpers. Read more about these below.
Everybody else should seriously consider volunteering. You can sign up to volunteer via the Jeykll and Hyde webpages and you can do that right now if you like. It takes one hundred volunteers to put on a race like this and like I said this is a chance to give something back. Every volunteer gets a race goody bag with our famously worthwhile freebies plus you bank some volunteer time towards a London marathon club place or a future place in this race (see below).
LONDON LEAGUE RACING – WE WANT OUR BEST TO TURN OUT FOR SERPENTINE
This event is the last of the London League and we want our best athletes to race for Serpentine. Men, women and 40+ all count for points. How fast do you need to be? I’d say that if you are a man who could do an Olympic distance triathlon in sub 2:15 or a woman/vet man who can do sub 2:22. For vet women I won’t specify a time but you probably know who you are. That is the kind of standard I’m looking for, but those times are a form guide not a qualifying time; if you only do sprint races, Ironman, duathlon or are a swift runner who can bike strongly, then you just need to tell me why you should make the team. Please turn out and race.
OUR TOP VOLUNTEER HELPERS
If you already make a significant contribution to the running of the club and would really like to get a chance to compete in your local race then of course we respect that. Let me know why you deserve a slot.
On Friday 4th Sept, you will be able to enter online via the Jeykll and Hyde duathlon webpage.
WARNING if you enter without first getting the OK from me, you may be removed from the start list and will forfeit part of your entry fee.
Neil Melville, J&HP Race Director
Lisa Pettit, Race Secretary.
