Who we are...

Mounts Bay Harriers are the newest local Running, Triathlon and Athletics Club in Penwith, being set up by local triathletes and runners in June 2005. The club meets at Mounts Bay School every Monday at 7pm for social runs of varying lengths, with structured coached sessions on Thursdays at 7:30pm at the Astro Park, behind Penzance Fire Station.

...and what we do!

The club now has over 200 members and regularly has 20-30 turning up for training sessions. Of the group that turn out there is always a wide standard of athletes from beginners, who are especially welcome, to accomplished triathletes and runners. The club also has a large junior section who meet on Friday nights at "The Dome" at Mounts Bay School, Heamoor.

Enduroman 5-Iron - starts 5 June 2010 for 7 days

June 5, 2010 9:00 amtoJune 11, 2010 9:00 am

Based at Fowey

Enduroman Format:
12 mile swim, 560 mile bike, 131 mile run - cut off 7 days

Original format Deca Ironman races allow continuous multiple run and bike laps of flat monotonous courses over a few kilometres. Athletes may rest and sleep at their own leisure. Most athletes develop a routine of sleeping around 3 hours during a similar time each day in the early hours.

The Enduroman 5-Iron takes you across an extremely demanding bike course on open roads and a run course along a challenging and undulating trail. Instead of athletes choosing when to sleep, the race dictates that all athletes will not compete from between 3 hours before first light and first light. This also ensures the safety of our athletes out on the courses.
