On Your Marks Events achieves BTF Event Quality Mark

Created On: 23 June 2011

On Your Marks Events are pleased to announce the award of Level 2 Event Quality Mark from British Triathlon for the Mark Tanton Memorial Triathlon. The team have been working hard since October to prepare for our first event in March, which attracted over 130 young athletes, both novice and experienced club athletes, and are delighted to be only the 3^rd event in the country to achieve this level.

The Event Quality Mark was introduced by British Triathlon to provide a quality assurance standard for events. Events credited with the award have demonstrated guaranteed minimum operating standards in safety, fairness, athlete provision, event organisation and athlete and spectator facilities. They are engaged with the national governing body and are committed to continual development. At the time of publishing this report there are 15 events achieved level 1 and 3 achieved level 2.

Having set the standard for our first event we are applying the same rigour to the Brackley try-a-tri in October, and our 2012 events. However, since planning began for the Brackley try-a-tri after the publication of the British Triathlon Handbook in December, this excludes us from the level 2 award, but we will continue to develop the event to this standard in every other aspect.
