Advanced notice for Sprint Triathlon event Sunday 8th September
Extract from leaflet distributed to local residents and businesses
An estimated 200 triathletes will participate in the unique, exciting event, that is the Tri Reigate Sprint Triathlon event.
Many of the triathletes will be locals to Surrey and surrounding areas, supporting local charities of all kinds. Additionally, the Tri Reigate Sprint Triathlon provides a valuable opportunity for fundraisers to generate funds for their chosen charity.
The route has been carefully considered and designed with support from Surrey County Council and Emergency Services. The event will start and finish inside Buckland Park. The official race start time is 9:30am, and all triathletes will have finished by 11:30am.
However, in order for the event to take place safely we have organised experienced marshals to man the surrounding roads where the triathletes will cycle as part of the route. If you have any questions, concerns, or would like a travel plan provided to avoid the roads in use, please contact us or call 07858605702 for more further information. The same number provided will be the number to call during the event if you have any questions or concerns.
Cyclists will be on the roads from 9:45am until 11am on Sunday 8th September.
The roads used will be: A25 – Reigate Road, Old Road, Old Reigate Road, Kiln Lane, Brockham Lane, Old School Lane, Bushbury Lane, Roothill Lane, Brockhamhurst Road, Leigh Road, Shellwood Road, Clayhill Road, Newdigate Road, Bunce Common Road, Flanchford Road and A25 – Buckland Road.
Please be mindful and aware of the cyclists on Sunday 8th September. Our volunteers & marshals will be available on race day to offer advice. We can assure you that no roads will be closed during this event. Both vehicles and cyclists will be sharing the roads used as part of the cycle route. We ask that residents with parked vehicles on the used roads listed would kindly move their vehicles to another location during the time of the race in order to provide a clear route for the cyclists.
This is a community event and there are a number of ways in which local residents can get involved by coming out and cheering on the triathletes on the route or volunteering on the event.
Providing a safe and enjoyable event requires the help of volunteers. If you would like to join “Team Tri Reigate” you can contact us. With busy lives, it can be hard to find time to volunteer. However, the benefits of volunteering can be enormous, one of the more well-known benefits of volunteering is the impact on the community. Volunteering allows you to connect to your community and make it a better place. Plus, it can be really good fun! In exchange for volunteering at the event, you shall receive two free RunThrough race entries in addition to a RunThrough £10 voucher.
Thank you in advance for your support of the Tri Reigate Sprint Triathlon event.
