Michelob London Triathlon 2008

Enjoy the summer with a fantastic challenge, and join the Kidscape Triathlon team!

Date of Event: 9th/10th August 2008

The Michelob London Triathlon is an exciting event for any fitness enthusiast – combining swimming, cycling and running.  Whether you want to go it alone, or enter with friends, family or colleagues as a team (three people per team, each completing a different leg of the race) – you can do it with the London Triathlon.  Your support can help Kidscape to change children’s lives.

There are three distances to choose from:

• Individual Super Sprint - 400m swim, 10k cycle and 2.5k run
• Individual Sprint - 750m swim, 20k cycle and 5k run
• Individual Olympic - 1500m swim, 40k cycle and 10k run

By signing up with Kidscape, you will get dedicated one-on-one support and care throughout the event, fundraising and training advice and helpful hints.  Not only this, but you will get a personalised running vest and training t-shirt so anyone and everyone can cheer you on, support packs for friends and family, and fundraising packs with all the advice you could want.

“It was great and very uplifting experience.  I arrived very, very early (not knowing what to expect) and ended up speaking with a number of people that do the London Triathlon each year for different charities - I was proud to have signed up to help with Kidscape!  I chose to support Kidscape because I could immediately identify with your cause on a personal level. 

When I hit the freezing cold water (with about 300 others - and then had to tread water for 10 minutes before the official start) - I realized that the 4 months of training was actually the easy part.  It was a great day and I want to thank Kidscape for providing me the opportunity to participate.“ – Joseph Keener

“The best bits for me include floating in the Thames waiting to start at 6:30 am on the most beautiful morning, nervous yet so excited. Rounding the last corner to see I had beaten my 2 hour 30 min 'dream' time was also pretty great as well. The whole thing was just excellent and doing it for Kidscape made me very proud.” – Andrew Moule
