St Richard’s Hospice cares for patients and families in Worcestershire who are living with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. Each year they provide free care and support to around 2,300 patients and their families – helping them towards the best quality of life possible. This year alone they need to raise £6.1 million so any support you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

The Sprint consists of one lap of each discipline - 750m Open water Swim, 28Km Bike 5Km Run

Registration will be available Saturday afternoon/evening (times to be confirmed) and opens at 6.00am in the marquee next to the lake.

The cafe should open at 8am and there is parking for spectators too

Race starts from 8.30am (to be confirmed closer to race) with the Open water Swim in clean freshwater lake at the Activity Centre. We will update you via the Worcester tri club website the week before for water temperature, this will dictate whether wetsuits are mandatory. Our sponsors Xterra Wetsuits may provide discount codes nearer the time - visit the Xterra Wetsuits website www.xterrawetsuits.co.uk to view their latest range of swim wetsuits.

Next a very short run to the secure racked transition area (grassed) for T1 to pick up Bikes etc.

The Bike route is made up of a mixture of undulating and twisting roads round the Worcestershire lanes with some flat areas, fast descents and some tougher rolling roads especially the climb out of Great Whitley

The Run is held on Farm tracks and paths round the Activity centre, going down to and along side the River Severn with a loop back nr the Castle back round to the Lake.

Camping is available the night before at the Farm for those travelling to the event. More information at http://www.topbarnactivity.com

Refreshments will be able on the day. Please continue to check the Worcester Tri Club website for all details of the event and race instructions, we will not be posting hard copies

Please note there is no longer a 50% discount for Worcester Triathlon Club members.

Please note in the event of you wishing to cancel we reserve the right not to refund race fees. We will try and accommodate up to the end of May 2013 but any later and we will only be able to roll your event place over to another WTC event in the next 12 months

If you are a BTF member you must bring your membership card with you to registration to validate the race license discount. If you can not present it at registration you will have to pay a supplement of £5 for a day license.
