Cornwall Mini Triathlon Series for children announced
We have been advised that a Cornwall Mini Triathlon Series -for children- has been announced!
Following the success of last year’s Helston Mini Triathlon, Tempus Leisure has developed a brand new Cornwall Mini Triathlon Series for 2014.
The Series consists of five triathlons, taking place at various venues around Cornwall and spread throughout the season, starting in April and ending in October. The distances for each discipline will vary depending on a child’s age; please see below for details.
