On Sunday 18th February ARC Fitness hosted event 5 of the Driathlon UK Tour. The Driathlon is a tough 60min challenge, where participants work for 20mins on each of our three Concept 2 machines to complete as many calories burned as possible. There are Driathlon events happening all over the country, with the top participants qualifying for a grand final event at the Birmingham NEC.
We had 12 participants take part throughout the afternoon, including several visitors to ARC for the first time. Each participant put in an incredible shift, giving it their all, everyone finishing. Perhaps most impressively we had two 10 year olds, Amelia and Jacob who completed the entire 60min Driathlon! ARC Coaches Lottie and Estelle also stepped up to trial out the first attempt at a pairs Driathlon. It proved a great success and is something the organisers will roll out more in the future. We also had several of our competitors achieving scores that put them at the top of their age group categories in the country, including father and son, James and Jacob Liepa.
Well done to everyone who took part and thank-you to all those who came down to support. We look forward to bringing this fantastic event back to ARC in 2025!
