It looks like the Roseland has gone mad for triathlons this summer with 2 big races being planned. For those of you who don't know, a triathlon consists of a long distance swim, followed by a cycle, followed by a run. It might sound exhausting, but with these charity events, all are welcome to take part and team entries are positively encouraged.The first triathlon is provisionally scheduled for 21 August and will start and finish in Portscatho. There will be a swim to Porthcurnick beach (1/3 mile), a cycle to St Anthony Head via St Mawes (15 miles) and a run back to Portscatho along the coastal footpath (5 miles). For more information visit the website at http://www.roselandtriathlon.co.uk/ .
The second triathlon will be held on 26 September. The Nearwater Triathlon is for the Help the Heroes charity and will also feature a range of social events around St Mawes. There is a swim across the harbour, a cycle and then a run around the village. Again, team entries are positively encouraged! More information plus maps of the routes can be found by visiting http://www.nearwaterstmawes.co.uk/triathlon .
Of course, if you want to enter either event, why not make a holiday out of it and visit the beautiful Roseland Peninsula for a few days of even a week. It looks like we are going to have a few properties available for short breaks, even at peak times of the year so please do contact us or call us on 01872 264441.
