The River Itchen Biathlon is a charity team relay from the source of the River Itchen \u00a0to the sea. The 25 mile (40k) trail begins at Cheriton and follows the Navigation Way along the River Itchen. When the river meets the sea, swimmers take over and race to the\u00a0 finish at the slipway on Priory Road, St Denys, Southampton.<\/p>\n

Helping to raise funds for the local Countess Mountbatten Cancer Hospice and Society of St James<\/strong> will be teams with sponsorship from local companies and suppliers.<\/p>\n

The unusual team event\u00a0 calculates the finishing times over the age of the participants, so the winning team is the best NET time. There is also an award for the fastest overall team, irrespective of age.<\/p>\n

The event starts at the Flowerpots in Cheriton and finishes at the Junction Inn in St.Denys. A BBQ is provided in the garden of the Junction Inn\u00a0 and showers\/changing facilities donated by St.Denys Community Centre.<\/p>\n
