Throughout 2018 the club will celebrate their 30th year with sport and social activities.

First they have the Spring Duathlon taking place at the iconic Goodwood Motor Race Circuit on Sunday, April 8.

This enjoys great popularity among athletes because it provides a coveted opportunity to race on the historic track with closed roads. Entries are going well.

It’s a fast, flat duathlon around All finishers will receive special anniversary club gifts and environmentally friendly medals, with winners getting club unique environmentally friendly trophies and cash prizes.

Last year’s race was shortlisted among the top 12 best triathlons in the UK 2017 by Running Awards.
