In aid of Cockerham Recreation Scheme and CancerCare

Last year the triathlon celebrated its 10th Anniversary with yet another fantastic race. There was a good field of competitors and a great atmosphere throughout the race. Our thanks goes to all those who help make the event possible, St Johns Ambulance, Steve Ashcroft & his team, Dave Rigby and to the members of the Cockerham Recreation Scheme committee(and their families & friends)to name just few.

The Cockerham Traiatholn is 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.

For the second year now, 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.

All abilities welcome Mountain Bikes recommended. Helmets compulsory, Wetsuits optional. Mementoes to all finishers.

Due to the demand on places and health and safety this year, we wish to encourage everyone to pre register for this event by offering a discount of £7 for individuals and £10 for teams registering in advance. If you do need to register on the day you will still be able to do so, albeit at the full price.

This event is raising money for both the Recreational Scheme and CancerCare and we both encourage you to do a little so that we can do a lot. If you would like fundraising suggestions please contact us.
