Simon Edney (of John’s of instow) has been chosen to represent Great Britain in the ITU World Duathlon Championship, being held on 26th September, in Concord, North Carolina, USA.
Multisport athletes from around the world will be travelling to the Unted States for the 2009 ITU Duathlon World Championship, hosted by Cabarrus County Convention and Visitors Bureau.
The event will feature close to 1,000 age group competitors – racing on a 10k run, 40k bike, 5k run course in and around Lowe’s Motor Speedway.
The location offers a one-of-a-kind venue for the World Championship, presenting a challenging course that will take the athletes around the same track where NASCAR’s greatest drivers have raced for the finish line.
Both Michael and Anthony Johns (from John’s of Instow) have kindly agreed to help with sponsorship but Simon could still do with some help towards his travelling and accommodation expences.
So if you feel you can help in any way you can contact Simon at the shop on 01271 860310
We wish Simon every success and hope he can bring us back a medal or two.
