Look at sites such as www.britishtriathlon.org for triathlons, and for local running events, see www.suffolkathletics.org.uk.

Events which are eligible for the ITCH league are followed by an "ITCH" number, which is the weighting or tariff for that event in the league. "Club sessions" are normally evening social training runs from Greshams.
