Ribby Hall Triathlon
This event is a sprint triathlon held around Ribby Hall Leisure Village and on quiet country lanes in the Ribby Road area of Wrea Green, Preston, Lancashire. It forms part of the Fylde Trilogy series that also includes St Annes and Fleetwood. Chip timing, medals, gifts and presentations are provided.
The disciplines and course characteristics:
- Swim: 400 m in a heated 25 m indoor pool, completed as 16 lengths.
- Bike course: a single loop on open rural roads. The route is flat with few turns, narrow in places and mostly left turns apart from an early right. Riders must obey the Highway Code, wear a helmet before touching their bike and have their race number on their back. There is a railway level crossing on the route; competitors stopped by a lowered barrier will be credited time and marshals will note numbers.
- Run: an out and back trail run that follows a single track around the outside of the holiday village. Competitors run out 2.5 km to a turning point and return the same way. The trail allows passing in both directions.
Logistics: the event uses The Health Club at Ribby Hall Holiday Village as the venue. There is no parking at the venue; competitors are asked to use the designated school car park on Ribby Road. A race licence or a single use Race Pass issued through British Triathlon is required to participate.
Transition advice given includes laying out kit in order, helmet first, noting racking position and using visible landmarks to locate equipment quickly. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
