It's official - Winter is now over. After the previous 2 dates were cancelled or re-arranged due to bad weather, it was great to finally get this event run.

Results can be accessed via the results tab at the top of the page or via the Wendover event page.

Any queries will only be considered until wednesday 3rd march, after which time results will become final and we will publish the series and club results too.

We are delighted at the early take up of our new cyclosportive, the Quattro. As a first event we will only be taking up to 300 entries in 2010 across the 3 different routes. We will only be taking entries on the day if we haven't filled up prior to event day. And we are really looking forward to sharing our own Just Racing technical t-shirts that all finishers will receive as they cross the finish line. If you are looking for a bit of a deal, check out the cyclosportive package deal and receive a discount when you enter all 3 of our 2010 sportives.
We look forward to seeing you on the road...

The final results for 5k, 10k, 15k have now been added along with the series points and the Club points. The top 3 ladies are pretty close and with the current mens leader Phil Holland unable to make round 3, there are only 11 points seperating the next 6 runners! Olney runners are currently dominating the club championships after some great performances and turnouts in the first 2 rounds.
We will be taking pre-entries up to the tuesday prior to the race and then we will be taking entries on the day (additional £2). We look forward to welcoming you all to round 3 at Irchester Country Park.
Alan

We expect the remaining 10 places to be taken today.

We are delighted to be organising the 2010 British Elite Duathlon Championships on behalf of British Triathlon. We are really excited about the addition of this event to our race calendar and running alongside the elite categories, will be a really exciting age group drafting event. There are time restrictions for the first 5k run leg for the elites, but not for the youths or age groups. Take a look at the event page for location and some other information about this event.
The senior and junior elites will race together over a 5km run, 20km bike and finishing with 2.5km run, with athletes from both categories eligible to win the £5,000 prize money. Youths will race over 2.5k run, 10km bike and 1.25km run. This year’s event will also see the inaugural British Paraduathlon Championships, which will be contested over 5km run, 20km bike and 2.5km run.
We will be issuing a full press release from British Triathlon early next week, but for now take a look and come join us at the British Elite Duathlon Champs on 28th March 2010.

It has now been over 4 weeks since we informed all existing runners of the change of date for this year's multi-terrain run at Wendover Woods, which has been plenty of time for runners to let us know if they have been unable to run on this new date. Any runner who has been unable to make this event has received a full refund. However, as we approach 4 weeks to go (Sunday 7th Feb), we will no longer refund any runner who is unable to make this new event. For clarification please refer to our terms and conditions. Should anybody still wish to enter this event, we do have places available.
Alan
We are pleased to announce that our online entry fees have now been reduced form 4% to 2.5%. This will apply to all online transactions. There were a lucky 600 customers who weren't charged any online entry fees during the first week's launch of the new website (this wasn't intended as a promotion, it was just our mistake!). We hope you enjoy using the new site, but remember any problems do let us know so we can ensure all is working as it should be.
Julie
We have now filled the 600 places on offer for this year's Grendon Triathlon. We are seeking ways in which we can increase the field size and are hoping that we can offer up to another 100 places. If this is possible, it will be on a first come first served basis. However, anybody still wanting a place can drop us an email and we will let you know if and when any additional places become available. For all those who have secured a place at the 2010 Grendon Triathlon, we look forward to welcoming you on 9th May 2010.
Alan
We have been astounded at the response to this years Grendon Triathlon. At the start of today we have only 20 places available. The limit of 600 is there as we have to get all the swimmers in the water over a 30minute period, to avoid large groups of riders making a right turn at the start of the bike leg and crossing those cyclists who are finishing their bike leg, creating an unsafe area for all. We have typically had 4 waves of up to 150 in each wave setting off every 10minutes. Due to the huge demand for this event we are looking at ways we can accept more entries whilst ensuring athletes still have a safe and enjoyable event. We will keep you posted, but expect to be closing entries either today or tomorrow.
Alan
With 550 out of 600 places already taken, we think it is only a matter of days before the remainding 50 places are taken. IF you are planning to enter the 2010 Grendon Triathlon, don't delay - enter today!
Alan
All race entries received in the last week will be sent race numbers and race info on tuesday 2nd february for this weekends race. We are also aware that not everybody who has entered is appearing on the start list and this glitch is currently being worked on.

Entries for this weekends multi-terrain running events will close at midday on tuesday 2nd february. We will be accepting entries on the day for the 5k, 10k and 15k at an additional cost of £2.

September 2010 will see a new pool based triathlon added to the race calender. Race numbers will be limited to only 300 entrants in its first year. It will be pool based and will appeal to athletes of all abilities, including novice triathletes. More details on location, courses, dates etc to follow soon.
Alan
I am sure that most of you will have realised, the current downfalls of snow and extremely low temperatures forecast for the week ahead create a problem for the above event this weekend.
Wendover Woods has today been closed, the re-opening of which is uncertain. In association with the Forestry Commission, we have postponed the Wendover Multi-Terrain 5 until Sunday 7th March (the earliest opportunity outside January). Despite 2010 being the 10th year of this event, in light of the adverse weather conditions in 2009 and 2010, the 2011 event is likely to continue with a March date.
Please note, this email is going out to both current entrants and past entrants, to try to ensure nobody attempts to turn up and register on the day. If you can circulate this information to as many people as possible that would be much appreciated (we have emailed all competitors and phoned everybody that we do not have an email addresses for).
For all of the pre-entered runners, the issued race number and race times will remain the same. You will not receive any further race information via the post and we look forward to welcoming you to what will hopefully be a glorious event in March.
Alan
There will be a few tweaks to the bike and the run courses for both the little beaver and the beaver in 2010. The details will be announced in the next couple of weeks, but it will mean that on each lap the bike course will come through the grounds of the castle, giving the waiting spectators something to cheers about!
Alan
Race information and race numbers for all entries received for the above running races between 18th December 2009 and 4th January 2010 will be sent out first class on monday 4th January. Closing date for the Wendover multi-terrain 5 closes at midday on tuesday 5th January.
Alan
The first of our pool based triathlons has 3 times as many entries than it did at the end of 2008. This popular triathlon had over 500 competitors in 2009 and although we have extended the maximum number to 600 for 2010, we expect that this will fill up before the closing date. Event details and entry details can be found on the event page. Get entered!

As we head in to 2010 the Grendon Triathlon is the current hot potato as we are already almost 50% full. The multiple status of this event is attracting competitors from all over the UK and promises to be a hotly contested Sprint Triathlon event. All abilities are welcome and you do not have to be trying to qualify to enter this event. See the event page about how to enter online.
Alan
