Introduction

This year over 1000 competitors aged 8 upwards are expected to participate and the event will add another 2 accolades to its growing reputation as the Best Community Triathlon in the UK.

Firstly, the race will include a `Children with Disabilities` section for both Junior & Senior schoolchildren, making the Sefton Triathlon one of the most `Inclusive` triathlons not only in the UK but in Europe.

The second accolade is the honour of having Sir Steve Redgrave 5 times Olympic Gold Medalist as the Event Patron. Sir Steve has also agreed to host the post-event presentation where he will present all the various race category winners with their medals & trophies.

This year we will have 3 medal winning Olympians not only presenting the medals to the competitors as they cross the finishing line but actually competing in the triathlon itself. They are Steve Parry Gt Britain swimming captain & Olympic bronze medalist, Steve Smith Olympic high jump bronze medalist & Steve Cummings Olympic Cycling Silver & Commonwealth gold in Melbourne. So why not take this opportunity to compete with 3 famous sporting stars.

We have also introduced a free to enter team category called the Team Challenge for Adults/Veterans competing in teams of 3 (see entry form for further details).
