The Barony Park in Nantwich will be a hive of activity when the 21st Cheshire Triathlon comes to town.

More than 1,000 competitors and their families will line the park for the June 2 anniversary event.

There will be a children’s play area, rides/inflatable slides, on-site catering including ice cream van and the UK Triathlon Store.

The Race Crew are also on hand to offer support and advice about triathlon training and events.

The triathlon is aimed at all abilities and all levels of fitness, from novice to club and pro triathlete, as well as charity and fun entrants.

This is followed by a cycle around the Cheshire countryside and finishes with a run course on the Barony Park.

Zoe Steenson, Cheshire spokeswoman for UK Triathlon, said: “The message from UK Triathlon to anyone thinking about embarking upon their first triathlon is to not be frightened.

“The event welcomes all abilities with over 60% of entrants being at the novice end of the scale and provides competitors with an enormous sense of self satisfaction and enjoyment as well as allowing participants to show a competitive edge.”

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
