The 10K Run
There are plenty of ways to squeeze in some activity at the 220 Triathlon Show, so if you fancy a run then don’t miss our annual 10K! Held on the Sunday morning, the undulating course takes in two laps of the grounds around Sandown Racecourse.
The event will be organised by our partners VOTWO Events and supported by our 10K hydration partner H2OPro. You’ll receive a medal and timing chip, the chance to win one of several race prizes and use of the recovery area, where massage will be also available. Combined entry to the show, including a 10K race place, costs just £16. Book now at www.220triathlonshow.co.uk.
