Taking place on Saturday and Sunday the event attracted a record-breaking number of participants last year and it seems it is still increasing in popularity with an even higher number signing up for this year’s event.
The Chichester two-day series, sponsored again by Natures Way Foods, has been specifically tailored to ensure everyone has the opportunity to be involved.

Stuart Mills, contract manager at Everyone Active, said: “As the Chichester Triathlon enters its 11th year, we are delighted that its popularity continues to grow and more people are getting engaged in multi-sport activities.
“The weekend gives a fantastic opportunity for competitors of all ages and abilities to get involved and inspire more people to get active.

Sarah Baldock, the director responsible for Natures Way Foods’ community programme, added: “The adult events are open to everyone aged 16 and above, and children aged eight to 16 can participate in the junior category.”
“The great thing about the Chichester Triathlon Series is that there’s something for everyone. It’s a great opportunity for first-timers to take part as a team of work colleagues, family or friends.”
Registration will remain open until the morning of the event for those still wanting to take part, although spaces available on the day will be limited.
