MTC Club Awards Series

Heading for the finish line, Hawaii 2005

Each year MTC members compete successfully at regional, national and international level. Whether it's novice athletes putting in impressive performance at local races or experienced competitors qualifying for Age-Group World Championships, ETU/ITU events or even the Commonwealth Games. Members also undertake some amazing challenges often for Charity but sometimes just because they are there.

To support and reward this effort and commitment in 2007 the Club will award prizes for the most first MTC member in each of the following categories. The names of the top 3 in each category will be recorded year on year in the Results section of the website alongside the club records and podium finishes.

To be eligible for any of the award prizes you must enter the race with Manchester Tri as your club/team.

A list of local and prestigious races for the year will be added to the website soon. If you haven't yet decided your races for this season then the list should give you a few ideas.
