About Jenson Button Trust Triathlon
The Jenson Button Trust supports a number of charitable causes close to JensonŌĆÖs heart. This year's triathlon will take place on Sunday 23rd July!
Jenson Button Trust Triathlon Description
The 2017 Jenson Button Trust Triathlon is set to be the biggest and and most exciting event to date
To be held in Markeaton Park, Derby on Sunday July 23rd 2017, competitors will get the chance to race against the 2009 Formula 1 World Champion and a number of amateur and professional Triathletes.
As usual we'll have live music, amazing food and cold beer as well as triathlon action for first timers, families, teams and the return of our children's tri over lunch!
Keeping the same exciting format as adopted in previous years competitors will get the chance to race twice, with the preliminary heat consisting of a 200m lake swim, 10km cycle and 2. 5km run. The fastest in the heats will then go on to the final, which is double the distance, 400m swim, 20km cycle and 5km run, with the runners up going through to the wooden spoon race.

Top day as always!!
Great for all the family
Back next year
This is the 2nd year I've taken part in this event. Absolutely loved it. Great marshals, entertainment and atmosphere. Would highly recommend it. Will be back again next year.
My first JB Triathlon and it won't be my last. Great atmosphere, very well organised and a great location. This was only my second triathlon event and would recommend it to anyone interested in competing in this field. It was a great experience and left a newbie like me wanting more.¤ÅŖ¤Å╗ŌĆŹŌÖĆ’ĖŤÜ┤¤Å╗ŌĆŹŌÖĆ’ĖŤ Åā¤Å╝ŌĆŹŌÖĆ’ĖÅ
It was fun to be part of, the only bad thing was the grimy lake but nothing to do about that! AMAZING!!!
I was only taking pictures but the whole thing seems really well organised and a very good atmosphere. Excellent facilities and all levels of athletes take part
