English Riviera Wrap Up & Missing tag no 12

sent by Sportiva Events on 23/07/2026 at 16:36
Thanks for all the great feedback on our English Riviera Festival event. We plan to be back bigger & better in 2027 and hopefully on the same weekend. We will also be bidding for a drafting sprint triathlon qualifier or championship next year so fingers crossed for that!

Missing Tag no 12
We've just been invoiced £100 for ankle tag no 12 that has gone awol. So if you still have it please let us know & post it back. Rogue Racer timing uses active tags which all have their own battery & they're not cheap!

Regards

Ben, Helen & the Sportiva Events team.
