THE Winchester Triathlon will be returning to the city this bank holiday Monday.
As previously reported, NFU Mutual Winchester, Alton and Wickham has teamed up with Rees Leisure and TryTri Events to support the Winchester Triathlon, which is taking place on Monday, May 6 at Kings' School in Romsey Road.
Founded in 2008, the Winchester Triathlon offers sprint, novice and children’s distances. The routes are primarily based within the school grounds, with the adult cycle routes venturing out into the local countryside.
