A popular Cheshire blast now in its second year and is a pool based triathlon that includes standard and sprint distance races on fast, undulating Cheshire roads and a deceptively tough, mixed terrain run that provides a great early season challenge for novices and stars alike. Add in friendly, supportive event crew, top prizes / giveaways, family activities and you'll soon see what all the fuss is about!
This year we warmly welcome our nominated charity MENCAP to Lymm. They will be adding their talents to our event team and raising awareness of their worthwhile cause.
All racers have the opportunity to race for Mencap – all we ask is that you raise a minimum of £100. You will receive a personal account manager to advise and support you, as well as your own personalised fund raising page you can share with friends and family. Just tick ‘race for Mencap’ on the Lymm registration form and a member of our team will contact you.

Accommodation
If you are travelling far to get to Lymm you may prefer to reserve accommodation so you’re fresh for the race.
We recommend the following websites which provide details of hotels within the area.
Our bike mechanic on the day will be ‘Bicycle Check’
Having a well maintained and serviced bicycle before an event is one less thing to worry about on the day, there is nothing worse than having to pull out because your brake cables have snapped or your gears will not change, putting all that hard training to waste.
Bicycle Check offers mobile servicing and repairs for road and mountain bikes. The services that we provide are a “Basic service” and a “Full service”. We also carry out a host of repairs which all can be found on our website “www.bicyclecheck.co.uk”
“There is a £5.00 discount for the basic and standard service for anyone competing in the Uberfit events”
