Introducing the Pure Blonde Swim/Run & Aquathlon Series
Auckland’s newest multi sport event at Pt Chevaliar for all fitness levels
From October 2010, Point Chevalier will become the venue for Aucklanders looking to test their mettle in an all-new Swim/Run and Aquathlon Series.
Each Swim/Run event offers different distances from an entry level 500m swim & 2km run combo, to a tougher 1km swim & 4km run challenge.
From February, the series switches from Swim-Run to Aquathlon (Run-Swim-Run), offering participants a new challenge.
Devised by TACT, (Triathlon AgeGroup Coaching & Training), an Auckland based training group run by TriNZ Coach of the Year, George Hilgeholt, the series offers something for everyone.
Hilgeholt has designed the races to benefit seasoned athletes as well as amateur racers, and has kept entry fees for the seven core events as low as possible to attract a broad range of competitors.
“I’ve been involved in triathlon and multi-sports for nearly 30 years both as a competitor and a coach,” says Hilgeholt. “I think entry level events like this are the foundation of the sport because they offer people of all ages and abilities an achievable goal.”
Key features of the series will be separate swim courses for male and female athletes, event and series prizes for age groupers under 20 to over 60, and spot prizes to ensure all participants have a chance to win, regardless of their finish time.
“My aim is to keep the Kiwi passion for triathlon and multi-sports alive at a grass-roots level. These events have been devised to ensure there is something for first-timers as well as experienced athletes,” says Hilgeholt.
Competitors can register for individual events or the series at www.tactnz.co.nz Entry fees start at $20 for a single race and $120 for the series.
