Members of Sarum Triathlon Club should be motoring this season after joining forces with the Sparshatts Group.

The car company is backing the Salisbury-based club which is doing its bit to promote the popular triple-disciplined sport.

Club treasurer Derek Biggs is keen to point out that triathlon is a sport for all ages - not just elite athletes.

In triathlon every age group competes against their peers, which evens things out for all competitors. He said: "In triathlon we have all ages competing, from children up to a number of athletes in their 70s.

The club welcomes new members who want to give Triathlon a go.

"There are triathlon events for all abilities, from short local races to a full ironman.

Anyone who can swim, has a bike and is reasonably fit should be able to give one of the shorter events a try."

The club can be contacted by e-mail on sarumtriathletes@hotmail.com.
