St Mawes Triathlon

This weekend sees the second Triathlon held in the Roseland area. The Nearwater St Mawes Triathlon on Sunday 26th September at 10am is raising money for 'Help for Heroes'. The event includes a fundraising dinner on the Saturday night and a BBQ on the beach after the event.

Following on from the success of the Roseland Triathlon in August this event promises to be spectacular. It is classed as a sprint triathlon and encompasses the whole of St Mawes, through St Just in Roseland and out to Philleigh.

The Swim will start on Summers Beach, go out to a buoy in the Harbour and then back into the town beach and a small sprint up to the main car park to enter transition one. Here, the cyclists will depart and head out of the village along the front of St Mawes passed the Castle and out towards Philleigh. The run follows a similar but much shorter route, along the sea front and around the back of St Mawes to the finish back near the main car park.

Many of you staying in St Mawes Holidays properties will in fact have competitors passing your front door, even along the cycle route out at Philliegh. Many of the Roseland Triathlon competitors were encouraged by cheers from the public along the route, so please do support all those trying to raise money for such a good cause.

St Mawes Holidays are sponsoring the event so look out for our swanky new banner. We will be there on the day (two staff are competing), so do come down and say hello to us.
