TAKE advantage of the early bird offer by registering before February 28 and saving on normal entry fees for The 2017 Bumpy Triathlon – part of Haslemere Festival.

The challenge takes place on Sunday, June 4 and incorporates Haslemere’s very own Sprint Triathlon, with bike and run routes through the South Downs National Park and some of the most attractive scenery in Surrey and West Sussex.

Realising the area provided the perfect location, a group of triathlon enthusiasts from Haslemere Border Athletics Club got together with The Haslemere Festival in 2015 to put on the town’s first ever event – and The Bumpy Triathlon was born.

The 2015 Bumpy triathlon was a huge success, attracting more than 220 participants and many triathletes competed specifically to raise funds for charities close to their hearts, particularly local ones.

Last year, £6,000 was raised by a team for The Holy Cross Hospital,.

The triathlon is organised by volunteers and is a not for profit event supported by The Haslemere Festival. Every competitor receives a free t-shirt and drinks bottle.
