GRANITE MAN EXTRAVAGANZA
There is just under 2 weeks left to go before the inaugural Granite Man event. We have had a great response and we hope to have around 100 competitors on the day (comprising of sprint, middle distance and relay teams), which is fantastic.
The weekend kicks off on the Saturday 30 August with compulsory race registration from 12pm to 4pm. This gives you a chance to check your details, collect your race number and goody bag. At 3.30pm there is a chance to ask the whole Granite Man Committee any questions about the day you might have.
At 4pm Granite Kids starts. A short aquathon on Pembroke beach for children between the ages of 8 and 13 (inclusive). The distances for each age group race should be on the website this week. Watch this space!
On Sunday 31 August the serious stuff begins. Transition is open from 6am and all competitors will have their helmets checked before racking their bikes. The compulsory race briefing is at 7.15am make sure you do not miss this.
The race starts with a mass swim at 7.30am.
Hopefully by 6pm everyone should be finished and we can all head down to the Cotils for a post race celebration and prize giving. Make sure you let Emma Nicolle know if you would like to attend the meal. (Price is £12.50 and there will be a licensed bar.)
