Saturday 31st August, 2019 Plascrug Leisure Centre, Aberystwyth

There was a great turnout for Cerist Triathlon Club’s Aberystwyth Junior Triathlon, with 160 individuals and 10 relay teams entered this year. Poor weather in the days leading up to the race was cause for concern, but thankfully early rain turned to bright sunshine as the race progressed.

A pool swim at Plascrug leisure centre was followed by a technical bike course and run on Penweddig playing fields. Great effort was made by all participants, many of whom were taking part in their first ever triathlon, and despite the tough course there were plenty of smiles on the finish line - well done to everyone who took part! This event was also the finale of the 2019 Welsh Triathlon TriStar Series, so competition was fierce to secure top spot in the overall standings.

The race organisers would like to thank our generous sponsors: Subway Aberystwyth, Dilwen Jenkins Consultancy, Dyfi Events Ltd & Summit Cycles, Newman’s Garden Centre, Anthony Motors, Tyllwyd Campsite, Tesco Aberystwyth, Quick Fence Hire and Byrne Scaffolding. Special thanks to all the volunteers who helped set up the course and marshal on the day, and to the staff at Plascrug leisure centre.
