Just as the son of the god Zeus embarked on a perilous journey to stop the underworld and its minions from spreading evil in the film classic Clash of the Titans, Greenwich Tritons invite you to embark on your own journey of athletic courage by entering the Clash of the TRItons. The popular swim/run aquathon challenge – organised by South East London’s well-established triathlon club the Greenwich Tritons – is set for its eighth annual outing at Eltham College, Grove Park Road, on Saturday August 13.

Affectionately known as ‘The Clash’, the race has been part of the prestigious London League since 2005 and has grown steadily from 99 competitors in its first year to 230 in 2010. Setting the pace last year was James Lock, of the Thames Turbo club, who set a course record for the 500-metre pool swim and 5km run of 21mins 47 secs. However the race isn’t just for son of god athletes, feedback proves that Greenwich Tritons have created a friendly, fun race for all abilities. As well as the adult race (for those aged 15 and above) there’s a children’s challenge of a 250-metre pool swim and 2k run.

Prices are adults: £17 (affiliated) and £20 (unaffiliated) and children (11 – 14 years) £9 (affiliated) and £10 (unaffiliated). For more info visit The Clash
