This Saturday well be down at Dorney Lake in Eton for the Superhero Tri 2022! The Superhero Tri is a triathlon with a difference. Like a traditional triathlon it includes a swim, a cycle and a run but unlike a traditional triathlon, every team must have at least one competitor with a disability and can use whatever gadgets and equipment needed to help all the team members around the course.

Youre most welcome to pop down to cheer them on, well have an EXPO stand in the supporters village so do pop by and say hi! (dogs are welcome).
