National Biathle 23 May Millfield School
12 pupils from Leweston took part in the National Biathle on 23 May at Millfield School. The event was a selection qualifier for the Great Britain team at the World Biathle in Wieden, Germany, in August and the European Biathle at Barcelona, Spain, in September.
The Biathle is a continuous run, swim, run completed over various distances depending on age. All of our competitors raced well in some very tough races, despite challenging weather conditions with strong winds, rain and chilly weather.
