Montgomery Canal Triathlon bookings flooding in

Entries for this year’s Montgomery Canal Triathlon are already coming in from across Britain.

The cross-border event, usually held in May, will be on 6 September this year and will give the organisers and entrants the opportunity to see if this is a more suitable time of year for the event.

Successful Montgomery Canal Triathlon enjoyed by all

After the difficulties of planning through the time of Coronavirus restrictions, the Montgomery Canal Triathlon run by the Friends of the Montgomery Canal on Saturday 4 September was a most successful event.

While many of the 117 entrants were from Shropshire and Montgomeryshire, others came from across the British mainland, some over 200 miles to reach the canal. The oldest to complete all 28 miles were over 80 and the youngest was under 10 years of age.

Volunteers for Montgomery Canal Triathlon

As lockdown restrictions start to ease further, we are looking for people interested in helping out as a volunteer at the Triathlon.

You will be aware that The Friends of the Montgomery Canal have been prevented from holding the annual Triathlon due to the Coronavirus Pandemic. However, we are now hopeful that the event will take place on 4th September this year. This will of course be reliant on both Welsh and English Government guidelines. Consequently, we are tentatively putting plans in place to hold a Covid safe event.
