RIPON TRIATHLON 9th July 2011.

Olympic distance triathlon: Swim 1500m – cycle 40km – run 10km

Vulcan installed a safety floor ramp at this well respected event. It is presently the largest club organised event of its kind in the UK and attracts athletes nationwide. The swimming section took place in the lake at Ripon Race course. The Vulcan installation provided an anti-slip footing surface for the athletes exiting the lake whilst running into the cycle transition area. 775 athletes exited the lake with full confidence that they would not slip on the (very) wet inclined runway.

The principal aim of the surface is to allow the competitors to exit the lake safely and efficiently.

The surface criteria are:

up the Vulcan safety surface.

1. Anti-slip – in very wet conditions.
2. Provide grip for athletes exiting the water at running pace.
3. Be safe for bare-foot running and free from trip hazards and sharp objects.
4. Act as a barrier against underlying stones, dirt, grit etc.
5. Give secure traction under foot on an inclined exit.
6. Drain immediately and not harbour water build up.
7. Low risk of injury if an athlete falls.

The 2011 race was won by professional triathlete, Philip Graves in an overall time of 1hr 56mins.

Philip is an admired athlete and was the winner of both the UK Ironman and the UK Ironman 70.3 in 2009.
