RUNNING and swimming fans are being reminded that there is still time to sign up for the Big Lime Aquathlon this weekend.
The annual event, which takes place in Hartlepool on Sunday, is a continuous swim-to-run event, comprising a 750m open water swim in Hartlepool marina and a 5km run along the promenade towards Seaton Carew.
Organised by Hartlepool Borough Council’s Sport and Physical Activity Team, with support from British Triathlon, the event is open to all, both experienced athletes and amateurs alike.
Some 100 competitors are expected to take part.
Entry costs £17 for British Triathlon members and £22 for non-members – the additional £5 providing non-members with insurance cover.

The aquathlon is being held ahead of the town’s Big Lime Triathlon, which will take place for the fifth time on Sunday October 1, and that event includes a 750m open water swim, a 20km cycle ride and a 5km run.
