Countdown to the For Goodness Shakes XTFestival 2010

Created On: 28 August 2010

Final preparations are being made for the almighty 'For Goodness Shakes' 2010 XTFestival. The event, now in its sixth year, has grown to a two-day six-event spectacular, with an expected field of 850 athletes descending on the military Gibraltar barracks, home to the Royal Engineers Training Corps.

We've introduced new events for 2010, including the XTM 4-hour MTB Enduro and XTS Swim-only events for the uni-sport athlete. Whether you're planning on going solo or in a pair for the XTM or 750-metre swim, the events are on different days so you can recover in time to take on both.

Also new for 2010 is the Gore bike-wear try-before-you-buy experience. Gore will be on hand to supervise any athlete who wants to try their clothing during the event, with no obligation to buy. Visit the Gore stand on the day to find out more.

Our events are designed to cater for all ability levels, whether you're a complete novice or the next Alistair Brownlee. We've got the green light from Sam Gardner and Billy Whenman so we can guarantee a tough and technical ride that's achievable by even the most inexperienced bike rider.

With For Goodness Shakes goodies for all finishers and over £3000 in prize vouchers for the winners, the 2010 XTFestival should be rewarding for everyone. The British Triathlon Federation has sanctioned this event and will ensure that the day itself runs smoothly and efficiently (with chip timing for accuracy).

Race dates:                25-26 September 2010
