Tonbridge Lions Club has, once again, invited the Kent, Surrey & Sussex Air Ambulance charity to find sponsored competitors for the Tonbridge Triathlon to be held on Bank Holiday Monday, 5 May 2014.
Lions Clubs across the south-east have pledged to
donate £250,000 over 10 years to help KSS Air Ambulance achieve its aim of
night flying.
The triathlon event,
swimming, cycling and running was started by Tonbridge Lions over 26 years ago,
and is recognised by the British Triathlon Federation who referee and sanction
all triathlons. Competitors have a choice of completing the Sprint, a 400m
swim, then a 25km cycle ride, ending with a 5km run or the Standard event that
is double the distance for all three disciplines. Start and finish are at
Tonbridge School Sport Centre.
Chairman
of the organising committee, Lion Tom Simmons said, “Our aim is, as always, to
provide an event that is enjoyed by the competitors and spectators alike whilst
raising money for local charities. As well as assisting KSS Air Ambulance we
are also supporting Headway, a charity that helps those suffering from brain
damage caused by accidents. All the
proceeds from our Triathlon handbook will be donated to these two worthy local
charities.”
Since
its inception, the Tonbridge Triathlon has raised over £125,000 that Tonbridge
Lions have used to support to various local charitable causes.
