Event Details

Following the success of the first event in 2016, the Sprint Distance Triathlon on Lancaster University's campus is back! If you have ever felt the urge to Try a Tri - now is your chance. If all three sports seems a bit much, you can enter as a team of three and just do the sport you like best.

This is a fun triathlon event aimed at beginners aged 16 years and above (under 18 years need parental consent).

The triathlon is made up of three legs all taking place on Lancaster University campus:

• 400m swim (in the Sports Centre swimming pool)
• 20km bike (closed roads)
• 5km run

Proceeds from this event will go to St John's Hospice Lancaster and Cancer Care Lancashire and South Lakelands.

You can also get sponsorship for your efforts, a great additional incentive to complete the challenge.

This event is taking place in memory of Andy Bailey.

Dr Andy Bailey was a much loved and respected colleague at Lancaster University Management School from 1997-2015 who died suddenly at the age of 49. Andy will be most fondly remembered by those privileged to have known him as a scholar who was outstanding at translating the academic theory of strategic management and change management to the everyday complexity of practice. Perhaps most importantly colleagues, students, and friends would genuinely describe him as a "great bloke". He was an understated man, gracious in his time to all, kind to a fault.
