This event is organised by Tri-Force Triathlon Club in the Memory of Trace Allen.
The race starts and finishes at the Hertfordshire Sports Village in Hatfield. The course is fast, flat and has great PB potential.
The race is comprised of a 400m pool swim in the 8-lane, 25m pool, followed by a 1-lap 20km bike on a pretty flat course, finishing with a 5km flat run. Swimmers are set off singly or in pairs at 30 or 15 second intervals. (Format confirmation closer to the race date), with the fastest swimmers off first to minimise the need to overtake in the pool.
This is a great race for all standards, from the absolute beginner right through to the seasoned triathlete.
This event will also incorporate the Herts Club Sprint Triathlon Championships, so wear your club colours and represent your club with pride.
This is a non-draft legal race.

Swim was well planned with fastest swimmers in first & it appeared that most had given an accurate estimate. There was little overtaking. Course was an up and back in each of the 8 lanes, so no need to count.
Ride was fairly well sign posted and marshalled. It was on an open road, but on a Sunday morning at that time there was little traffic to worry about.
Run was around a field, mainly hard surface. It was very flat, with no notable hills.
On the whiole I had a great time. I would recommend this race to others and will definitely be entering next year. John D
