Septathlon: what are your seven events?

A Septathlon is a challenge where you have to complete seven different competitive sporting events in a year, running from 1st October to 30th September 2009.

Events can include:

• Road running
• Cross country running
• Cycling
• Swimming
• Triathlons
• Duathlons
• Cross country orienteering
• Open water swimming
• …or anything else that captures your interest

The base line for difficulty is 10k running, 1,500m swimming or 20km cycling for each event.

The minimum number of competitors is 100. Jogs in the park with your mates don’t count.

Each distance or event can only be completed once – for example if you do the Bupa Great Capital Run (10k) then that counts for your 10k road race, but other distances (half marathon, marathon etc.) or going cross country are ok.

The idea is that it’s a personal challenge - it’s not competitive, so there are no points awarded for beating other people.

Good luck!
