Organisers of the Mallory Park tri (Sprint and Super Sprint) have made the following offers to PACTRAC members:1) 1 free entry for every 4 PACTRAC entries (BTF rate for Sprint £35 or £28 with 5 members entering)
2) 1 free entry for every marshal provided (i.e. if Fred's wife does some marshalling then Fred gets a free race).
This year's event will be the 6th one and will be very similar to last year. Two races to choose from with a sprint distance and a super-sprint distance. The start will be in deeper water this year though as was a bit shallow at the start last year.
There's also the 'fastest lap' challenge on the bike section - a race within a race. Great for beginners as very safe with a lake swim and a traffic-free bike, but also great for the speedsters too with no cars to worry about.
The super-sprint event is a 400m swim, a 12k bike and a 1.5k run. The sprint distance event is a 750m swim, a 20k bike and a 5k run. Newbies can also enter as a team with one person doing the swim, one doing the bike and one doing the run. Also a draft-legal youth & junior race.
See www.dbmax.co.uk for more details.
If you are want to a place or have a marshall please email or let me know and I will contact the organiser for a discount code (giles.cooper@bauermedia.co.uk)

I am looking at "possibly" doing this one, although it is just 1 day after our club championship mid-distance triathlon at Oundle.
We managed 6 helpers for the Ride and Tie on Sunday, and 2 of those were non-PACTRACers, so good luck to the organiser in getting marshalls!
I have booked in for this as my first Tri. IF I get through the swim I hope to get some live practice on transition ready for Olympic distance @ Stowe the following week.
Super helpful organisors! I have volunteered my husband to marshall and in return I have a free entry.
Anyone else fancy it? Bank Holiday Monday and a great start time of lunch time so you don't even have to get up early! Sprint and super sprint distances.
