The St. James’s Place Sprint Triathlon is coming to Yorkshire!

Be part of a special event that’s transforming the lives of vulnerable children.

over the past 16 years, the event has raised in excess of £2million for charity

19th May 2019 marks the St. James’s Place Sprint Triathlon’s inaugural year at the prestigious Broughton Hall Estate in Skipton, with participants guaranteed an unforgettable event experience in beautiful surroundings.

At a glance this might seem like any other sprint triathlon but, over the past 16 years, the event has raised in excess of £2million for charity. Each competitor who enters agrees to fundraise for Hope and Homes for Children, allowing the charity to continue its vital work to free children from orphanages and enable them to grow up with the love and protection of a family.

Samantha Shepherd, Event Organiser said:

“Hope and Homes for Children is delighted to be introducing the St. James’s Place Sprint Triathlon to Yorkshire, and to welcome local triathletes to a fantastic event that will help transform the lives of vulnerable children worldwide.

Participants can look forward to swimming in the newly constructed Avalon Wellbeing Centre, with incredible floor to ceiling views of the Yorkshire countryside; riding through some of the country’s most iconic roads as made famous by the Tour de Yorkshire; and running to the finish through a breathtaking 3,000-acre estate.

There will also be a Family Zone, where loved ones can wait while you’re competing. We’ll be running lots of activities to keep the little ones entertained, including a penalty shoot out competition and a smoothie bike challenge.”

We’re incredibly grateful to Roger Tempest for so kindly donating use of the Broughton Hall Estate to us; and without whose generosity the 2019 Triathlon would not be possible.”

Local volunteers will also be warmly welcomed at the event and there are various volunteering opportunities available, ranging from marshalling the cycle and run routes to cheering competitors over the finish line. For further information, please email triathlon@hopeandhomes.org.
