Nantwich Triathlon finisher

More than 900 competitors battled it out at the North West Triathlon in Nantwich.

The event, organised by UK Triathlon, attracts people from across the country with Sprint, Super Sprint or Fun race distances.

Others enter the Team Relay, with many raising funds for good causes in warm, late summer temperatures.

The Sprint involved a 500m swim, 20km cycle ride and 5km run; Super Sprint involved a 200m swim, 20km cycle ride and 2.5km run; and Fun involved a 200m swim, 20km cycle and 2.5km run.

The Team Relay involved a 500m swim, 20km cycle and 5km run with one competitor for each leg.

As in previous years, the outdoor brine pool at Nantwich Swimming Pool was used for the swimming.

The 20km cycle ride takes pedallers up the A530 towards Leighton Hospital and back down from Church Minshull to Worleston and back to Barony Park in Nantwich.

The run was held on the grass of the Barony Park.

There was a medal and an optional massage as a reward for finishing, along with the satisfaction of completing a demanding multiple-stage competition.

There were also refreshment stalls, a chance to buy an event photo, and a bouncy castle and slide for children.
