Triathlon England's new low-cost and short-distance triathlon events and training programme, GO TRI is arriving at 35 venues nationwide as part of a unique weekend this coming Saturday and Sunday. 1000 new triathletes are set to be inspired to take up the multi-sport challenge over the two day period.

GO TRI 1000 will take place on 25 and 26 April, with not only the opportunity to partake in a triathlon, but with many events offering the chance to try out a duathlon or aquathlon instead.

The GO TRI 1000 triathlon events are manageable distances, starting with a 100m swim, 2.5k bike and 1k run – perfect introductory distances for those having never taken on the challenge previously.

From Kings Lynn to Liverpool, Stockton to Portsmouth, find your local GO TRI 1000 event here. With many events taking entries on the day, it’s not too late to get on board and have a go.

As an added incentive and to help participants begin their new multi-sport journey, there will be a £1,000 prize fund up for grabs, with four lucky winners receiving a £250 voucher to spend on triathlon kit and equipment. Register for a GO TRI 1000 event and you’ll be automatically eligible to win a share of the £1,000 prize fund.

Rob Bishop, Triathlon England's GO TRI Events Manager said: "The support for our GO TRI 1000 weekend from the public and event organisers has been fantastic and we are looking forward to a great weekend.

“The two-day event will see a huge influx of people entering our sport at the same time- and it’s not too late for wannabe triathletes to be part of this exciting weekend for triathlon.”

Who knows, we could find the next Olympic Champion.
