Prince Bishops Triathlon 2012
Standard Distance Championship status

Ryton Triathlon club are expanding the Prince Bishops event to include a shorter open water sprint event as well as the classic standard distance Prince Bishops event on the same day. Derwent Reservoir Sailing club has been the home of the Prince Bishops Triathlon since 1999. In 2012 we are moving the event to early May to give people a chance to use the race as a sharpener for the early season ironman events as well as giving everyone a chance to enter this great race avoiding a clash with other similar events. The race has also been awarded Standard Distance Championship status for 2012  The club house offers ample changing facilities and showers as well as a full range of refreshments all day. The site also offers free parking for all competitors. The area is one of outstanding natural beauty and the grassed transition area makes this an ideal setting for triathlon.
The sailing club offer full camping facilities the night before with charges to be agreed nearer the date. Additionally there will be a Triathlon exhibition on the morning of the race which will include cycle and sports equipment and clothing as well as pre and post race massage.
