John Sanders Memorial STC Sprint Triathlon and Duathlon
The John Sanders Memorial STC Sprint Triathlon and Duathlon is a multi-sport event organized by Stockport Tri Club. The event is based at Poynton Leisure Centre and utilizes the surrounding areas of Higher Poynton and the Middlewood Way. This competition is licensed by British Triathlon and features electronic chip timing for all participants.
Participants can choose from several event formats:
- Sprint Triathlon: A 400m pool swim, 20km undulating bike ride, and 5km run.
- Duathlon: A 5km run, followed by a 20km bike ride, and a final 5km run.
- Relay Options: Both the triathlon and duathlon formats are available for relay teams.
The swim portion takes place in a pool with controlled lanes and seeded starts. The cycling segment consists of an undulating route through local lanes, while the run utilizes the Middlewood Way. Finishers receive a medal, though participants have the option to opt out of receiving one.
The event requires a British Triathlon race license or a temporary race pass. Facilities are centered at the leisure centre on Yew Tree Lane, providing a central transition area for the various disciplines. Registration remains open until the specific closing date in September or until the event reaches capacity. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
