Fun or Sprint distance triathlon on Lancaster University campus: great for beginners. Individual or Relay team

Following the success of the first event in 2016, the sprint distance triathlon at Lancaster University is back again in 2024! Take part in the event on Sunday 8th September.

The perfect event for all! If you’ve ever felt the urge to Try-a-Tri now is your chance. You have the choice to either go it alone or why not build a team and choose to participate in the sport you like best.

The Triathlon will consist of three legs, all taking place on Lancaster University campus - 

• 400m Swim
• 20km Bike 
• 5km Run 

All proceeds from this event will go to St John's Hospice & Cancer Care. You can also get sponsorship for your efforts (a great additional incentive to complete the challenge). Individual fundraising, in addition, will be very much welcomed for one/ both charities. Over the years, the event has raised £31,000+ for both charities combined and we would love to continue to support them.

This event is organised 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".
