After 4 years of organising, and visiting 37 potential race locations, were are nearly there.  13 days stand between now and the largest gathering of ultra triathletes in history.  The New Forest will welcome athletes from England, Hong Kong, Northern Ireland, France, Scotland, Singapore, Wales, Burmuda, USA and Ireland.



Ultra distance triathlon in the UK is booming.  The Deca in the New Forest will host 20 athletes.  This will be the most Deca athletes on the startline ever, despite Deca Mexico being organised for a number of years now.  This is a direct result of the postive direction the sport is heading in the UK.

2011 also sees the start of the Enduroman European Ultra Triathlon Championships with the Deca, Quintuple, Triple, Double, Single and 100 UltraMarathon held in the New Forest, the Double and Single at Lichfield, the Double and Deca held in Italy, the Festival of Triathlon Lanzarote as well as the solo events of the Enduroman Arch to Arc and the Lanzarote Ultra.



We would like to thank the staff at Avon Tyrrell and to our sponsors Buff, Fitsense, High 5, Bio, Greeper and Sundog for their support.  As usual both Eddie and I will be their every step of the way for all of the athletes involved.

See you on the finish line.

Race Director
