Cool new stuff for our 2025 Middle Distance Triathlons…
For next year, we’re going to shake things up a bit with some cool new stuff as well as building on our already popular features :
Revised bike course for the Cotswold 113
New Bike/Run category for both races
Reduced Early bird rates with 3 tiers
33/33/33 6month Interest free payment plans
Improved inclusivity
Discounted Group/Club entries
Getting more Females racing
The industry standard in the UK for Male/Female split at Middle and Long Distance races is around 90/10, and we’ve been very fortunate over the last few years to average around 60/40. It’d be great to try and get that to 50/50 one day, so we’ve started working with a charity called Fund Her Tri, who’s aim is to get more ladies involved in the sport, and also promote a broader range of ethnic groups into Triathlon moving forwards.
We have some really cool things planned long term, but in the short term for 2025 we’ll have male/female changing tents in transition, Ladies Specific shirts available to select through the entry system instead of just unisex, as well as more feminine hygiene products available on the day at Aid Stations etc.
We already have a no quibble free deferral policy, so pregnancy is already covered in that area, and if you want to bring your babies along to the races, we even have marshal shirts down to a baby grow size, and ‘Best Supporter’ medals for kids crossing the finish line with competitors
33/33/33% Interest Free Payment Plan – Get on the start list for as little as £58.34
When you sign up to any 113 Event entry type, you can now select to pay it interest free over 6 Months
This was super popular for our 2024 events, and accounted for around 40% of our entries
All you need to do is select the payment plan at check out, and we’ll take care of the rest
For example, this means that if you sign up for the first early bird rate for the full Solo Triathlon at £175 on August 1st, you’ll pay as follows :
£58.34 at Sign up
£58.34 on Oct 1st
£58.32 on Dec 1st
