THE Pendle Triathlon Club is to set up a junior section, with training starting on February 25.
Sessions will be held at the Fisher More School, Colne, from 6pm to 7pm and interested young people are asked to complete a survey at surveymonkey.co.uk/r/6C3CDKR
Plans are also well-advanced for the annual Pendle Triathlon, which will be held on May 8.
For the first time, three competitions will be held – a traditional distance event consisting of 750m swim, 22km cycle and a 5km run, a sprint triathlon consisting of 400m swim, 22km cycle and a 5km run and a GoTri Event consisting of 250m swim, 11km cycle and a 2.5km run.
Competitors must be aged 15 by December 31 to take part in the distance event and sprint triathlon and aged 14 for the GoTri.
In conjunction with the triathlon, Barnoldswick's West Craven Leisure Centre is running a boot camp every Wednesday between 8pm and 9pm to help people prepare for the event.
