Set yourself a challenge in 2008!
Why not volunteer to take part in the Mazda London Triathlon 2008! Swim, cycle and run in one of the UK's most prestigious events. Anyone can get involved, as an individual or as a team, with distance options to suit all abilities.
You needn't be super fit because there are a variety of races to choose from - there is something for everyone! Choose the distance to suit you: the Super Sprint, Sprint or Olympic race.

The Individual Super Sprint: 2.5km run, 10km bike ride and 400m swim.
The Individual Sprint: 5km run, 20km bike ride and 750m swim.
The Individual Olympic: 10km run, 40km bike ride and 1500m swim.

- In the Mixed Olympic Group (Men and women, and all ages together).
- Men's Open age group - men only, but all ages together.

If you don't fancy competing individually then why not enter as a team? A team can consist of 2 or 3 people.
Team Relay Sprint: 5km run, 20km bike ride and 750m swim.
