The Mission to Seafarers has announced a new annual triathlon as part of its fundraising campaign.
The Making Waves triathlon will challenge athletic all-rounders of all abilities to a 300m swim, 15k bike ride and a 5k run in aid of Mission to Seafarers when it takes place for the first time on June 14 at the Waterside Farm and Leisure Complex in Essex.
The event is ideal for triathlon enthusiasts looking to stretch their legs ahead of the larger events in the triathlon calendar and is being sponsored by Lloyd's List, the leading transport and maritime newspaper.
"We are incredibly excited that Lloyd's List have agreed to come onboard and sponsor the Making Waves: Triathlon Challenge," said director of fundraising at Mission to Seafarers Carol Taylor. "It's going to be a really exciting day out and is a perfect starter for those wanting to get into triathlons."
The Mission to Seafarers is also making its debut on the social networking site, FaceBook. People searching for "Making Waves Triathlon" on the site will be able to join the Mission's group and access advice and tips on training as well as receive updates from the organisers.
