All competitors who have already entered the event will be given a full refund which will be sent out in due course. Pace Setter Events would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused as a result of this cancellation. Due to the unusual weather conditions which have occurred recently in the UK, Pacesetter Events and the National Trust have been forced to cancel the Clumber Classic Triathlon due to the emergence of an unprecedented quantity of weed which has developed on the lake in the recent weeks. The development of this weed has meant that the swim section of the event would not be possible for safety reasons leaving no option but to cancel the race in 2006 The decision to cancel the event outright was not an easy one but all organising parties felt that this option would then allow athletes who wish to find another triathlon event on the same weekend would gain the opportunity to do so with as much advance warning as possible. On a more positive note Pace Setter Events and The National Trust at Clumber Park are pleased to announce that a new event is scheduled for March 2007 with The Clumber Park Classic Duathlon which will be staged as an early season opener so still allowing athletes to race at one of the most picturesque venues on the Triathlon / Duathlon calendar. http://www.pacesetterevents.com//news.php?id=2825.07.2006.AdminProvisional results are online for todays race.

Once fully functional the site will be able to offer a full range of race information relating to each of the events as well as offer updates on confirmed competitors and race results. In the mean time we are still able to offer entry forms as well as provisional race information for all of the events hosted by Pace Setter Events and its partners in 2006 and hope you will make use of the site to help you select the most appropriate events for you in this forthcoming season. We hope to see you racing at one of our events in the near future. Pace Setter Events. Setting the pace in sports promotion. http://www.pacesetterevents.com//news.php?id=528.01.2006.Admin
