Wow, what an amazing first race to start the 2026 race season! 🙌
Our brilliant Junior Striders competed at the MedwayTri Duathlon at the CycloPark this morning, and they all did so well!
For some of our Juniors, this was their first competitive race. Everyone got round the course safely and counted their laps perfectly.
There were lots of brilliant times achieved, plus many top 10 finishes. And a huge well done to Aaron and Jaxon who came 2nd and 3rd respectively in the TriStart category 🏆
Well done to everyone who took part – we are incredibly proud of you all 👏
