What’s On? triathlon races July 30th & 31st

113 triathlon races across 6 countries

Another great weekend of racing coming up with so many great races, it’s so hard to choose just three as picks of the week. But choose we must, so here goes:

“First pick goes to Ironman UK. Bolton gets the top honour for this week because of the tough course the race is held on. It’s all about hills on the bike course, including this massively huge one you have to climb three times. And it doesn’t get any better on the run either. With a hilly run course that passes the finish area three times, it’s a real test of physical AND mental strength. I like!”
BeyondTransition’s Emma Bishop will be at Ironman UK this weekend covering the race for IronmanLIVE so be sure to say Hi to her if you’re there.

“Next pick is the Full Vineman Triathlon in Guerneville, California. This has been an iconic race for the longest time. The rolling hills on the bike course are challenging but not too overwhelming. And the course takes you on a tour of Sonoma County’s wince country. You’ll pass through miles and miles of vineyards and dozens of wineries. Race hard then enjoy a more relaxed tour of the wineries after. What’s not to like?”
“Finally, it’s a toss up between the Virgin Active London Triathlon and the OSIM Singapore Triathlon. But the final spot for this week’s picks goes to the London Triathlon. With over 14,000 racing across all categories, it’s bound to have a festive atmosphere. Richard Branson himself will be leading one of the relay teams, and former F1 World Champion Jenson Button raced here last year. Star-studded and festive, it’s everything a triathlon should be.”

“The Singapore Triathlon is a great race, too. With an ultra flat course, it’s easy to achieve your personal best. We’ve written a guide on how to race the Singapore course, which can be downloaded HERE.”
