2019 Track Challenge – Friday night saw the running of the 2019 Track Challenge. An internally run event, teams entered one athlete into each event, and the event culminated with two relays (4 x 100m and 4 x 400m).
The results for this years events were as follows…
‘Try-a-Tri’ – This event gave people a chance to experience what it’s like to do a triathlon, consisting of the three stages of a triathlon, with the run and the cycle being held in Yateley, and the swim in between being held at the Yateley School swimming pool. This was a great chance to see what a triathlon is all about, and by the looks of the photos below, people seemed to really enjoy it!
