Preparations are underway for the Burntwood Autumn Aquathlon at Friary Grange Leisure Centre in Lichfield.

The aquathlon race, which comprises a swim followed by a run, takes place on November 22.

The Burntwood Aquathlon offers different races for competitors starting at eight-years-old through to adults where the race distance is a 400 metre pool swim followed by a five kilometre run.

Burntwood Triathlon Club Chair Fiona Campbell said:

> “The event is open to all abilities and is particularly suitable for athletes making their multi-sport debut. The swim takes place in Friary Grange’s 25m indoor pool followed by a multi-lap run around the leisure centre playing fields.  
>  
> “There’s plenty of free on-site parking and changing facilities at the leisure centre. Friary Grange is a great venue because there’s plenty of opportunities for spectators to watch the race both at poolside and out on the run course.”

Entry forms and race information are available at [www.burntwoodtriclub.org](http://www.burntwoodtriclub.org/?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk), or by emailing [burntwoodrace@hotmail.co.uk](mailto:burntwoodrace@hotmail.co.uk).

Fiona added:

> “Burntwood Triathlon Club is a growing and friendly club, catering for all levels and abilities and offering a range of training opportunities, and recently had two members – Michelle Askey and Tim Pepper – representing Great Britain at the Triathlon World Age-Group Championships in Australia.
