Hello Everyone,
We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate more RG Active athletes that have gone that bit further and completed IRONMAN races recently. It really is a huge achievement for anybody to put their bodies through this kind of punishment and to become an IRONMAN means you are one of a very small group of [...]

Hello Everyone,
I have just received a number of emails from some of you about the announcement from Humanrace about this weekend’s King Sturge triathlon, Timex Women’s Only triathlon and the Steelman triathlon races all being held at Eton this weekend.
