It’s always great for us to see
that our products help people get actively involved with fitness,
especially when there’s a little competition involved. There’s nothing
better than a dash of rivalry to get the blood pumping.
However, there’s something truly uplifting about seeing younger competitors taking part in these competitions. We’re proud to encourage junior competitors on their journey to being champions. Every step is important to us.
That’s why we’re delighted that junior members of our local Bolton Triathlon Club are proudly donning our custom triathlon kits, both in training and on the race trail.
The event had a fantastic turnout, with over 180 juniors taking part in total. The teams came from all across the north-west, including – you guessed it – the Bolton Tri Club.
Notable successes on the day included 8-year-old Amelia Rose, who powered through with a truly admirable effort that saw her blazing through her race to finish in second place. Also name worth mentioning is Adam Akik, who valiantly came in fourth place in the T2 division.
There was also the Wirral Junior Triathlon on June 29th that a number of Bolton Tri Club girls took part in, an event hosted by Mersey Tri. Bolton Tri were represented by girls in T1, 2 and 3, who we’re proud to say chose VO2 triathlon gear to aid their impressive performances.
The race was a huge success, with loads of youngsters getting involved and encouraging others to get active. The juniors proved once and for all that triathletes can have fun while they compete, inspiring not just their peers but also parents were compelled to up their game and incorporate the active lifestyle into their daily routine.
It was great to see our advocates take part in an event so close to home. We love seeing the athletic community continue to grow in our home town on varying levels. Events like the Ironman UK race are fantastic for bringing attention to the area, but it’s the clubs like Bolton Tri that are responsible for more long-term growth in our younger athletes by nurturing potential to see them truly flourish.
