2020 RaceCheck Reviews

Thanks for another brilliantly organised event! I’ve been competing in triathlon now for over 25 years and your events are always a pleasure to participate in. Your venues, atmosphere at the races, marshals and overall race satisfaction are second to none.

Keep up the great work and I look forward to getting afew more of your series next year.

I did the Ellesmere tri yesterday

Can you say thank you to all team for me.

Once again a brilliantly organised event .

From the signage of the short cut from the main road, swift organised distribution of our numbers etc, racking great ,plenty of space, Marshalls in and out of transition, the race brief always thorough, clear and funny at waters edge, safety guts on the water giving us extra confidence, good matting down no ouchy feet, Marshall on cycle and run brilliant.Mount line clear and precise, and to the guy who amazingly shouts out our namesas we come over the finish line, giving us the extra boost of pride. Thanks also to the safety road crew, and of course to all the guys I've missed out or in the back ground.

UKTRIATHLON never fail to meet expections.

Well done everyone

See you all at Stratford

I would just like to pass on my thanks to everyone involved for making Sunday a great race.It was a brilliant course and very well organised. The aid stations were perfectly positioned. The weather didn't dampen our spirits, it was a welcome change from racing in the heatwave.

Look forward to returning next year.

Kind regards
