The London Triathlon

The London Triathlon - 7th & 8th August 2010

traithlon180135.jpgThe Mazda London Triathlon is the largest in the world. With 1000s of spectators lining the course, some of the world's finest triathletes racing in the elite race, and over £1million raised for charity, the event has become an incredible experience for all involved. There are a number of distances, which means there is something for everyone!

Whether you already have a place or would like one of our guaranteed places, it would be great to have you on board as part of our team. London Triathlon places are very sought after, so competing for CARE is a great way to not only ensure that you have a space in this great event, but are given the support you need to be prepared.

If you are worried about competing in the whole event as an individual, you can compete with friends, colleagues or family in the relay events. Each team member completes one leg of the race before passing on a timing chip to the next racer in transition. This option is avaliable on the Sprint Distance and Olympic Distance. See www.thelondontriathlon.com for more information about the race.

How to apply

Category Swim Bike Run
Super Sprint 400m 10km 2.5km
Sprint Distance 750m 20km 5km
Olympic Distance 1500m 40km 10km

CARE has a number of guaranteed places for the London Triathlon. Apply to CARE for one of these places! We request each triathlete to initially send in £100 to guarantee the place, and then raise a further £400 for CARE.

Whether you have a ballot place or a guaranteed place, as part of our team, all triathlete's will receive regular contact and advice from our fundraising team, a fundraising pack, a running shirt/vest, training advice from experienced staff, a CARE information pack, and regular updates on CARE's humanitarian work.

For more information on competing for CARE in the London Triathlon contact register your interest and our Events Co-ordinator will be in touch.

CARE challenge are an in-house charity fundraising team. We offer many exciting charity events that you can join. All our charity challenges offer amazing adventures outdoors and lots of our activities take place over adventure weekends. If charity runs are your thing, then we have lots to offer - 10K runs, half marathons and many other running events. Or, how about cycling events for charity? We certainly have lots to offer in the charity cycling department. There are charity rides where you can cycle London to Brighton or you can even do a charity bike ride from London to Paris, if London to Brighton isn't far enough! We also have some charity walks and hikes. Later this year we have a sponsored walk that is 25 miles long in order to celebrate the 25th anniversary of CARE International's UK office. If activities outdoors and adventure weekends get your adrenalin pumping, then why not sign up for one of our mountain challenges? We have numerous charity challenges on mountains over the year from three peaks challenges to 24 peaks challenges - if you think you're up to it! For many of our charity fundraising events you can register as a teamleader or part of a team. We believe our charity challenges offer great teambuilding activities and are really great for team events.
