Triathlon websites get new look for 2012

Created On: 20 December 2011

Today, British Triathlon, Triathlon England and Welsh Triathlon have launched new-look websites for Home Nation members and triathlon fans around the UK, as the sport prepares for an exciting year ahead with the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Visit the websites at:
www.britishtriathlon.org
www.triathlonengland.org
www.welshtriathlon.org

The websites re-development follows an in-depth consultation with Home Nation members, age-group triathletes, the British sporting public and many of our world-class staff at the National Performance Centre in Loughborough and the Home Nations.

British Triathlon will now focus on providing the latest news from British triathletes racing around the globe and tell the story of our triathletes in their quest for success at the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Triathlon England and Welsh Triathlon will now focus on enabling athletes from novice to experienced level achieve their triathlon challenges and take part in our fast growing sport. The sites will also enable everyone to get involved in the sport and find out how to volunteer, officiate or attain their coaching qualifications within triathlon.

British Triathlon's Chief Executive, Zara Hyde Peters OBE is excited about the new site commenting: "The launch of the three new websites shows our commitment to providing both quality content and user experience for our Home Nation members and triathlon fans around the Great Britain. Next year is an exciting time for triathlon, and with the new online structure, I hope we can maximise the interest and legacy that the London 2012 Olympic Games will create for the sport as well as inspiring people to go and watch the events that we hope will create the most memorable free-to-view experience of the 2012 Games."

Jem Lawson, Chair of Triathlon England echoed Zara's enthusiasm adding: "Each of the new sites will greatly increase the accessibility of our sport as we expect awareness of triathlon to grow significantly over the next 12 months. The Triathlon England website will be a vital resource for the organisation to build its profile within the triathlon community and help us deliver greater value for money to our members."

Steve Butler, Chair of Welsh Triathlon added: "Interest in triathlon within Wales continues to rise with the new website enabling us to highlight our successes and ensure the Welsh triathlon community are up-to-date with all the opportunities that exist within the sport. Welsh Triathlon has an active membership, and the new site will ensure they get maximum opportunities to take part and get involved in the sport."
