Hi all - Belpark Tri Club is hosting the Blessington Triathlon on Sunday 1st July. This update is for all members - your help is still required to volunteer on Saturday 30th or Sunday 1st, as we need 80 volunteers to make this a success.
1. Entries – now at 317, so expecting to reach target of 400. 27 clubs represented, with 25% of people doing their first race.
2. Marshals – we need about 80, so a lot more than duathlon’s as road for bike & run totals over 25km of road space, with multiple corners and points of caution. Currently we are short at least 10 marshals – currently only 30 Belpark members have volunteered, which is about 15% of our membership, so we'd encourage the remaining 250+ to contact us at info@blessingtontri.ie if you can help out, even if it's for a few hours. Without marshals, the race could be cancelled or safety could be impacted.
3. Registration – we’ll do early registration in B2R on the Saturday afternoon, which eases pressure on Sunday morning.
4. Bike course – new route confirmed, since N81 has roadworks and traffic lights. It’s 19km and should be nice, although a few sharp turns. Maps updated on website: belparktri.ie/Blessington/race-info/
Any suggestions or feedback, please let us know. It should be a really successful day for the club.
