Tri Your Luck at Haigh Event.
Fancy tri-ing something fun with a hint of
competition this September? Then get booked in for the Haigh Triathlon.
The annual Triathlon will take place at Haigh Country Park on September
26th from 9am to 3pm.
A host of teams will compete by canoeing the canals surrounding the
country park, cycling the paths, and orienteering through the
Plantations.
The Haigh Triathlon is designed to be a fun event with a hint of
competition, and all young people are invited to come along and give it
a go. Absolute beginners are welcome.
Eric Bradbury, Wigan Council’s Outdoor Education Team Manager, said:
“The Haigh Triathlon is a key date towards the end of our summer
calendar of activities, and has always been really popular.
“It’s always a really fun day and the competitive element is very good
natured.
“It’s a great event for young people and their friends to come along and
try something new. You don’t need any experience, just come along and
give it a go.”
Teams will consist of three young people in one of the following
categories:
Young Women aged 11 – 14
Young Women aged 15+
Young Men aged 11 – 14
Young Men aged 15+
Mixed Teams aged 11 – 14
Mixed Teams aged 15+
Each team needs to complete a booking form and return it no later than
Friday September 11th with a £5 entrance fee per team.
More information, maps, consent forms and programmes will be sent out to
your team once the organisers get your entry form.
