NEW for 2021
The Ripon virtual triathlon sponsored by Black Sheep Brewery
Over the week
Saturday 26th June 2021 to Sunday 4th July 2021 the NYP Tri Club, sponsored by Black Sheep Brewery brings you the
virtual Ripon Triathlon 2021.
There are five races;
1. Standard Triathlon (Swim or land based swim workout video* / 40km bike / 10km run)
2. Sprint Triathlon (Swim or land based swim workout video* / 20km bike / 5km run)
3. Standard Duathlon (10km run / 40km bike / 5km run)
4. Sprint Duathlon (5km run / 20km bike / 2.5km run)
5. 5km Run
*As most of us have had a lot of time out of the water due to the pandemic we are making the Standard and Sprint triathlon swimming sections equal for all by having two options. You can either swim in a pool or open water venue for the event distance, or if you are new to triathlon, or not too confident with your swim fitness you can enter the 2nd category and do the dry land swimming video for your distance. The land workouts will be a home based circuit that you can time yourself completing and upload your results. There will be two different circuits to reflect the distances.
Please note NYP Tri Club will be allowing NYP Tri Club members entered into the Ripon Sprint or Standard Triathlon to attend one of their club open water swimming nights at Ripon Racecourse which take place during the event week on Saturday 26th June / Tuesday 29th / Thursday 1st July or Saturday 3rd July. You can safely swim your event distance.
