A Day To Remember - Pottsville Triathlon
2026/2027 Season Race no.2 - Sat 24 October 2026
The recent Pottsville Triathlon tested everyone’s resilience. Despite being moved to October in the hope of avoiding the usual flooding in February, heavy rain brought challenging conditions and widespread water across the course.
Safety came first: the swim was cancelled, and the cycle course was adjusted to account for flooding. The run went ahead as planned, though parts of the course were under deep water. With many participants and volunteers unable to take part, the organisers worked hard to keep the event going in difficult circumstances and deserve plenty of credit for doing so.
Our club had a fantastic day amid the chaos, with 11 members finishing in the top three and taking to the podium. Congratulations to everyone who raced, and a big thank-you to the volunteers and organisers who helped make the event possible
Now, let’s celebrate those podiums! 🖤💛
