Business community called on for Liverpool Triathlon

Organisers of the Liverpool Triathlon are urging the city's business community to get involved.

Taking place on the 21^st June, participants will swim, bike and run while taking in some of the most iconic views the city has to offer, including the Liver Building, Albert Dock and the brand new Arena and Convention Centre.

Legal practice Quinn Barrow, based on Stanley Street, already has two experienced triathletes on its roster.

Stephen Ormersher, a trainee solicitor, and Paul Barrow, a partner at the practice, have participated in numerous triathlons over the years.

Stephen, who is a member of Liverpool Tri, said: "In addition to being a great way to keep fit there is also a fantastic social aspect to the sport.

"I'm sure the Liverpool Triathlon will be a fantastic event to participate in and I would encourage other business people across the city to sign-up."

But it is not just experienced athletes who are invited to take part. Beginners are also welcome and a series of specialist training programmes have been put in place to cater for their needs.

Drop-in training sessions, running from 7.30pm-9.00pm, have been arranged for the 18^th and 24^th March at the Aquatics Centre and Walton Lifestyles respectively with more to be announced, including a novice training day in late April.
