Health Rewards Aquathlon: Saturday 11th June

Join us on Saturday the 11th of June 2016 with Vigour Events for the Health Rewards Aquathlon! Taking part at Pilmuir Quarry to the south of Glasgow, the event is a chance to swim in the crystal clear waters in a sheltered location, then a run in the surrounding scenic countryside.

What is an Aquathlon?

The sport of Aquathlon consists of a continuous, two-stage race involving swimming followed by running.

There are a variety of race distances and combinations of swim/run and races can be held in pool or open water, and on road or trail.

****All Abilites & Any Age WELCOME****

Take part in the Health Rewards Family Aquathlon from age 8, with a range of swim and run distances to suit everyones abilities. So whether 2016 is the year for you to tackle a new challenge or you are a seasoned open water swimmer, the Health Rewards Aquathlon is a fun, family friendly event for everyone.

Robert Hamilton from Vigour Events said:

“Vigour have been running for 6 years. We’ve focused most of our attentions around swimming events and open water swimming events. The last one we did was the Firth of Forth, between North and South Queensferry in September last year. This year we’ve teamed up with Health Rewards to promote their Aquathlon programme.

Vigour will provide extensive safety cover for the event with Kayakers and first aiders on hand and a large land and water crew.

What would be useful for people to prepare for the event, and as a general fitness programme, is to come along to some of the sessions we put on.”
