On Sunday 16th June 2024, TRISudbury hosted a day of triathlon for all the family. The Sudbury Triathlon is one of the most competitive yet inclusive and family friendly events in the region, it is the triathlon for you regardless of whether you are new to triathlon or keen to lock down a sprint triathlon PB.

The morning featured a Sprint Distance Triathlon, part of the British Triathlon Eastern Region Adult League.

“Thank you to the awesome team for organising a wonderful event. My daughter had a great time completing her first tri ever and I am so pleased she did for TRISudbury. The group is just fantastic, so supportive, friendly and driven! I also enjoyed doing the tri today and have fallen back in love with tris after a long break from them.”
