Welcome to MonsterRacing
Providers of Triathlon, Duathlon and Ultra events across East Anglia!
ECF Monster Middle and Olympic 2013
Due to popular demand entries are now open for the 3rd Monster Middle, Ely, taking place on Sunday 18th August 2013. Each year the event grows, not just in number of competitors wading into the river as they start the 1.9km river swim, but by what we have to lay on for everyone! We’ve increased the number of trade stands this year and streamlined the course in accordance with competitor feedback. Spectators have a great view of transition as the athletes exit the river swim having been cheered on through the centre of Ely as they pass the local marina and parks. The 83km bike course with draftbusters and the 21km run, finishing in the centre of Ely.
The Olympic distance triathlon will use the same routes as the Monster Middle, only half the distance. Perfect for those wishing to do their first open water swim!
And what a great atmosphere! There’s music, a hog roast, camping and we hope to secure a RAF Flypast as we did for 2012!
As one of the first to bring middle distance events to the Eastern region, the Monster Racing course has been dubbed as `iconic’ by many of the elite athletes who raced both the inaugural and second year. The course is set in the stunning backdrop of Ely and its glorious Cathedral. Guarded by the majestic Ely Cathedral, the River Ouse provided the perfect setting for the swim leg and then out into the open flatlands of the Fens on the bike and run, with unrivalled scenery.
Tri Talk posts and the BTF suggest it is a race that will go from strength to strength. It’s a race that is perfect for first timers and a welcome half ironman distance triathlon event to East Anglia. There’s oodles of time to train so why not set yourself a goal for later in the year and enter now! Entries are now open so sign up here for the Monster Middle...  or here for the Monster Olympic

Monster Racing was formed in 2010 as a sports event management company primarily to fill a gap in the middle distance triathlon event market, in and around East Anglia. Based in the Isle of Ely we have a multitude of venues planned to add to our events schedule over the coming years. For 2013 we introduce the Monster Olympic triathlon and have already included a Winter Duathlon which was a huge success in 2011 that we had to move to a bigger venue in 2012 to accommodate its popularity.
The Monster Racing team are experienced, hardened triathlete’s and sports people, meaning that careful research has gone into each and every event we run.
We have been meticulous in the details of our events and passionate about making sure that everything we enjoy experiencing from the events we ourselves enter is passed onto you to help make your race, the perfect race. |
