Major triathlon race set to be held in Ripon
A major triathlon race is set to take place in Ripon next weekend.
The Dalesman Triathlon, which is organised by Trihard Events, will see more than 600 athletes from across the UK come to the city.
The inaugural event will take place on Saturday, August 21, and Sunday, August 22.
The longest race, called the Full Dalesman, will start at 6am on Sunday morning with a 2.4 mile swim in the racecourse lake.
It will be followed by a 112 mile cycle route in Masham, Dallow Moor and Brimham Rocks before returning to Ripon for a 26.4 mile marathon.
As part of the event, there will also be a Half Dalesman race over half the distance and a smaller Quarter Dalesman race.
A spokesperson for the organisers said:
Volunteers will be at the event to look after entrants and marshal the racecourse.
