London Triathlon 2010
We're delighted to announce that YouthNet is an Official Charity of the 2010 London Triathlon. With over 8,000 people expected to take part, the event is now the largest triathlon in the world.
The prospect of a triathlon can seem fairly daunting but over half the participants are first timers and with a number of different distances to choose from, there's something for everyone. If you don't fancy the whole thing, you can take part as a team of three with one swimming, one cycling and one running. YouthNet staff have chosen this option and are already training hard!
Whether you've completed a triathlon before, or you're an absolute novice, we'd love you to join the team and take part in aid of YouthNet.
For more information or to sign up, please email events@youthnet.org or call 020 7250 5700.
When: 7 & 8 August 2010
Where: Excel Centre, London
