Velodrome Reward Event

I hope you have all had a good summer of triathlon. As we approach winter, thoughts turn again to the pain cave and the Zwift series racing for 2027. However, before we get there, we need to complete the 2026 series by giving the prize winners their rewards - funded by the NW Region of Triathlon England.

The reward is a one-hour private training session for up to 16 athletes at the Manchester Velodrome, complete with equipment and coaching. The event takes place at 6pm on Friday 16th October.

Our winning team is Rochdale (again!). The Rochdale athletes nominated for the velodrome session are:
