Are you up for the Challenge?
Does the notion of a triathlon make you think of super-fit athletes who swim, cycle AND run crazy distances! Well think again……… SPARKS is recruiting teams for the London Triathlon 2003 on Sunday 3rd August 2003 at ExCeL, Royal Victoria Dock.
Fancy something a bit different from the usual routine? Want to get out, get fit and train for a fantastic team-building experience? Then find some workmates and form a team for this year’s SPARKS entry into the London Triathlon.
It’s not as crazy as it sounds – you only need to find three people who are all willing to swim 400m, cycle 10km, and run 2.5km (Supersprint entry)! Or if you’re feeling fitter, find three people for a choice of a 1,500m swim, 40km cycle or 10km run each (Olympic entry).
Joining SPARKS will qualify your team for a top fundraiser prize, prizes for the winning teams, fundraising incentives, training advice and a truly enjoyable experience!
Your support towards 2003 fundraising through the London Triathlon will enable SPARKS to continue to fund ground-breaking medical research. Your team will be supported by SPARKSwith your fundraising, from offering advice on Giftaid and internet team sponsorship pages to company-match schemes. We would love you to join us and take up the challenge!
We are organising both team and individual entries, so what are you waiting for? If you are interested in receiving information about joining the SPARKS team, please e-mail [email protected]. We look forward to hearing from you!
