Urbanrace Brighton Triathlon Statement - January 2010

It is with great sadness that Urbanrace have to advise we have been unable to agree the continuation of The Brighton Triathlon with the Brighton Council Events Office.

We made a very large investment in the race and delivered two successful years in 2007 and 2008. We created an event which produced no complaints and we were receiving huge demand for participation. The council were also pleased with our event management procedures.

However, despite all of this, we were unable to gain a contract and permission to stage the race again. This news unfortunately impacts heavily on our ability to continue to fund our triathlons in Sussex.

The Brighton Triathlon was an open water sea swimming event which was based at Madeira Drive on Brighton seafront. The event comprised a Novice, Sprint, Olympic and Relay triathlon.

Swim

The swim took place in the sea off Brighton Seafront in front of Madeira Drive.

Bike

The bike course was on closed roads and completed a series of laps on a fast tarmac course capable of really fast bike times.

Run

The run was also on Madeira Drive on a fast, flat tarmac course.
