WORLD’S 1ST FREE TRI SERIES

It’s not a race – but you can still win! Challenge yourself with the ‘parkrun of the Triathlon world’. Set up in 2015 to inspire active lives through triathlon, the Series removes social and financial barriers with monthly, timed events from April to September. Offering 4 distances to suit novices and experienced mermaids on wheels of all ages (7-99y), it is the perfect start to your Sunday morning.

WHAT ABOUT FITNESS?

Triathlon, isn’t that a sport for Olympians that requires super human fitness?

intoTRI was founded to show a completely different side of the sport. People of all ages can participate in our free triathlon events which emphasise finishing over winning. The focus is on challenging yourself, having fun and embracing a healthy lifestyle. So get intoTRI, a grassroots initiative powered by volunteers.

DO I NEED EXPENSIVE KIT?

A swimming costume, any road worthy bike, helmet and a pair of trainers and you are ready to get intoTRI. Front crawl or breaststroke, all in one go or stop after every length, the choice is yours. We group swimmers by ability to make our free triathlon events fun for everyone.

WHAT ARE THE DISTANCES?

• Junior Short (7-14y) – 100m swim – 2.1k bike – 1.4k run
• Junior Long (7-14y)  – 200m swim – 3.5k bike – 2.5k run
• Senior Short (15y+) – 400m swim – 10k bike – 2.5k run

NEW IN 2019: Electronic Timing

To offer you and all spectators an even better in and post race experience, we are rolling out an electronic timing solution in 2019. Linked to an app, you will be able to track live results, check the overall series leaderboard and see your progress and performance over the season and years to come. Get your starter kit (from 01-April 2019).

STARTER KIT

All events in the series remain free to enter. To get your finish and split times, you need to purchase a starter kit for a small, one-off contribution to our charity. Once you got the kit, you can enjoy all the benefits of the new timing system and user portal at intoTRI’s FREE Tri events for years to come.

A £10 starter kit consists of:

• Chipped bracelet linked to your intoTRI user account
• intoTRI swim hat – pick your favourite colour

intoTRI – DRIVEN BY VOLUNTEERS

Volunteers are the face and driving force of intoTRI. Find out more about the roles and time commitment below. None of the roles requires any prior knowledge – just a smile on your face and enthusiasm to help out.

ROLES

From registration, swim/bike/run course to finish line, there is a volunteering role for everyone.  You will receive a volunteer pack by email prior to the event, describing your role in detail, and attend a briefing on race day. All kit and safety equipment provided.

REWARDS

Volunteering posts include the best spectating points on the course. Get to see our junior participants taking multiple loops around you or witness the joy of a triathlon novice crossing the finish line – volunteering with us is incredibly rewarding.

All 2019 results will be posted here 24h after each event. You will also be able to track results from the free timing app included in your STARTER KIT.
