Set in and around the picturesque village of Cockerham, the race takes in some of the areas most beautiful and historic scenery including Cocker Sands Abbey, Morecambe Bay and views out to the Bowland fells.
The committee came up with the idea of a triathlon and the event was born in 2001 and is set in the picturesque village of Cockerham, the race takes in some of the area’s most beautiful and historic scenery including Cocker Sands Abbey, Morecambe Bay and views out to the Bowland Fells.
The event has grown and developed over the years but the committee would like to keep it as fun and friendly as ever, the day is keenly supported by the village community and what you will find is a fun day out for all the family, competitors and supporters alike.
Cockerham recreation committee have raised over £50,000 over 10 years which has gone back into the local community improving the village. One project has developed the local playground and tennis courts.
This year the committee have teamed up with local charity CancerCare to maximise the opportunity of this event whilst supporting both the local community and CancerCare. CancerCare is a local charity which supports local cancer patients, their carers and family members. See the 'About Cancercare' page.
The race is open to individual competitors and relay teams of three persons.
