Hundreds to take part in popular triathlon

Hundreds of competitors from across the country are gearing up to take part in the Driffield Triathlon, one of the region’s most popular pool-based events.

Organised by Freebird Events, the adult race starts with a 400m swim at Driffield Leisure Centre, followed by a 19km bike ride around local roads and a multi-lap 5km run around the grounds of the sports centre.

The Driffield Junior Triathlon then takes place after the adult event on Sunday May 7, welcoming children from as young as eight years old.

Peter Mathieson, director at Freebird Events, says: “Our Driffield Triathlon is hugely popular for both novices and more seasoned triathletes, with its fantastic, friendly atmosphere and fantastic location.”
