The Microgaming-sponsored Sprint Triathlon Weekend takes place on Saturday and Sunday, based in Ramsey.
There is a large entry of 94 for Saturday’s individuals event. It starts with 30 lengths (750 metres) of Ramsey Swimming Pool at 9am.
The cycle course of approximately 20km heads out the coast road to Bride, then back to Grand Island corner via Andreas (two laps).
It is possible that this may have to be adjusted as traffic lights are currently in place at Andreas, although work there could be completed by the weekend.
The 5km run takes place round the Mooragh Park and promenade area.
The field includes 2014 Commonwealth Games triathlete Andy Nash, GB junior international Joseph Ricciardi and leading local female Becky Storrie. No fewer than 31 women have entered.
A total of 42 teams have entered Sunday’s team race over the same course. This also starts at 9am.
