Stockton triathlon - Time's running out to enter - Monday, August 25,

RUNNERS, swimmers and cyclists are being reminded time is running out to enter the Stockton Triathlon. Held on Monday, August 25, (bank holiday) the Stockton Triathlon challenges athletes in the water, on wheels and on foot as they tackle the standard distance - 1,500m swim, 40km cycle ride and 10km run. There is also a sprint triathlon of 750m swim, 20km cycle ride and 5km run. Both the Standard and Sprint triathlons can be entered by individuals or teams.

The event is based around the Tees Barrage with the swim being carried out in the clean waters of the River Tees and the bike and running race held along its banks.
