The 2010 Triathlon - 3rd July 2010

280 children aged between 7 and 15 took part in the 9th New Forest Junior Triathlon at Hounsdown School, hosted and marshalled by Totton Running Club. As organiser, may I thank everyone who assisted before the event and on the day to make it an enjoyable and successful day. We have received lots of thanks from the parents and schools and many children are keen to return next year with their friends in a school team. There was a record turnout of 64 teams from schools around Hampshire.

We had to turn away around 40 children again this year as we are now operating at capacity.

Parents & Schools - please get your entries in early next year.

The junior team competition was again won by Durlston Court School in Lymington, following their success in 2009 with Hamble Primary School runners up and Hyde Primary (Red Deer team) in third place. The senior team competition was won by Wildern School in Southampton. We have achieved the objective of encouraging school teams with the concept of ‘try a tri’ and provided a catalyst for increased participation of triathlon particularly from New Forest schools.

A good number of New Forest schools were represented this year with, local school Foxhills, Brockenhurst Primary, Orchard Junior School in Hythe and Fordingbridge Junior School entering the largest numbers of children in the juniors. Burgate School in Fordingbridge had the most entries in the seniors (under 13's & under 15's). Local junior triathlon club, Chapel Tri Stars also had a large contingent of entries and a number of their children were among the trophies.

All the children received a medal and a memento for their efforts. Trophies were presented to the first three children in each age group and to the first three junior school teams and first senior school team.
A full list of the results and photographs of winners is available on this website.
