FITNESS fanatics are being encouraged to sign up for a new challenge in 2016.

Entry details for a series of triathalons and swimming challenges taking in Bala next year are now online for prospective participants to sign up for.

The challenges will take place in both June and September.

George Watson, who helps organise the events, was keen for as many people as possible to take part.

He said: “With 2015 almost at an end, maybe it’s time to consider if the Bala Middle or Standard Distance Triathlons or Charity Swims could be for you next year?

“As 2015 draws to a close many of you will already be thinking ahead and planning your 2016 season as entries are already coming in for next year’s events.

“Entries are open for both events on www.entrycentral.com.

“Race information and race details can be seen on www.wrecsamtri.org

“If the triathlons are not for you then maybe one of the charity swims is best for you.

“The swims also give an opportunity to swim the lake pre triathlons if you’d like some practice beforehand.”

“We look forward to seeing you at one of our events in 2016.”
