Mold Triathlon, 27 October

Entries for the next triathlon are now live on Entry Master. The schedule is also attached as it contains important information about the event.

• Mold Oct 2024 Tri

This is the first of the Trio of Triathlons. This year’s events are: 27 October, 19 January, and 9 March.

Everyone who takes part in all three of the Trio of Tris will get a prize for commitment. These entries can be in different classes.

In each class the person with the highest combined score from all three of the Trio of Tris will receive a trophy. These need to be done in the same class, so if you move up a category in January consider whether you want to take that step in October instead.
