A group of Malvern triathlon runners have represented Team GB.

Members of Malvern Triathlon Club have taken part in competitions across the planet, from Australia to Portugal.

Colin Davies and Sarah Davies secured third and fifth positions respectively at the Multisport World Championships in Townsville, Queensland, which included a 10 kilometre run, 39 kilometre cycle and a concluding five kilometre run.

In June, five club members flew to Coimbra, Portugal to take part in the European Championships.

The Davies' and Jayne Ackroyd took part in the Duathlon event, while Keith Evans and former World Champion Helen Woodman contested the Cross Duathlon event.

Evans and Woodman both won silver medals, before the latter added another silver to her tally in the Cross Triathlon.

Last weekend, 21 members joined the National Triathlon Relay Championships at Nottingham's National Water Sports Centre.

Despite the event being largely a social occasion for the club, one of the Malvern teams achieved an admirable 13th place finish.

Looking ahead, the club is set to start off-season training and continues to welcome new members at an annual fee of £30.
