Crystal Palace Triathlon Club and Greenwich Tritons each mistakenly think that they're the biggest and best triathlon club in South London.
They're wrong, and now we've got a chance to prove what we all already know - Windrushers are the friendliest, most enthusiastic, and frankly, best looking triathletes around.
The challenge? An ongoing monthly Park Run 'mob match'.
It's not about the fastest, or the slowest - it's about numbers. Whichever club brings the most runners on the day wins.
Each 'mob match' will take place at either Brockwell, Greenwich or Crystal Palace Park Run, on the first Saturday of each month.
Every Park Run is 5km - they're a really friendly and easy way of getting a regular timed event into your training. All abilities take part, it's just about getting out on a Saturday morning and getting stuck in.
The first match is on Saturday 4th February at Crystal Palace. We're in this to win, so we need as many Windrushers as possible to sign up and come and run (or walk!) the course.
"This sounds AMAZING, where do I sign up?"
1. If you haven't already, register with Park Run and get your barcode. You'll need one of these to race.
2. When you register, make sure you select Windrush Triathlon Club as your club.
3. Be at the start line at 9am on Saturday 4th Feb. The start is below the sports centre, opposite the children's playgruond (map here).
4. Run!
If you need more information about getting there or registering, visit the Crystal Palace Park Run page here.
For those who are cycling, there are bike racks at the national sports centre.
Now let's go win this thing!

"
| Crystal Palace Triathletes(CPT) organised a mob match between against Windrush Triathlon Club and Greenwich Tritons at Crystal Palace parkrun on Saturday 4 February. Despite the freezing weather, the turnout at the first mob match challenge was excellent, and I think it was a record attendance for the Crystal Palace parkrun event at 116 starters. CPT must be a bloodthirsty bunch, as the match brought out four CPT first timers and five new CPT PB's, as well as our best club attendance to date. We beat Windrush Triathlon Club by a whisker and Greenwich Tritons by a whole cat; however Greenwich Tritons produced the overall winner. Regards, Lisa Collins(CPT) |
