Take part in the 2010 London Triathlon for WaterAid!
The 2010 London Triathlon will take place over the weekend of the 7-8 August.
With over 8000 expected to get involved, it is now the largest triathlon event in the world and an experience not to be missed!
Don't worry if you have never done a triathlon before as around half the participants will be newcomers to the sport, competing alongside the many world class sporting heroes who take part every year.
A triathlon is a challenge event comprised of three parts - a swim, cycle and run. There are three categories that you can compete in, which consist of different distances:
Super Sprint Distance - 400m (swim) / 10km (bike) / 2.5km (run) Sprint Distance - 750m / 20km / 5km Olympic Distance - 1500m / 40km / 10km Team Racing

Well done to everyone who took part over the weekend of 1-2 August – it was a brilliant weekend with over 150 WaterAid participants taking part; three were dressed in a toilet costume!
