There has been a wave of triathlon nostalgia in recent times, with British Triathlon celebrating their 25th anniversary and some clubs and events reaching the same milestone of late. The East Grinstead Triathlon Club is one such club and from its modest beginnings with just 55 competitors in its first event, will be celebrating our 25th Anniversary East Grinstead Triathlon on 16 May 2010 with a limit of 500.

In order to make this year's event a bit special, the club is looking for some help in tracking down those original 55 competitors to take part in a ‘Class of 86’ category in this year's race or to just come along and reminisce.

If you did compete in the 1986 EG Tri, or might be able to contact anyone who you think did (the standard profile is; late 40's at least, grey/no hair, distinct haunted look from too many miles, rides a steel bike with toe-clips and still wearing dayglo spandex!), please contact us via  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Please be quick though as the event is filling up fast. Race details are on egtri25.com
