In September 2019 we are offering the opportunity to take part in a Virtual Triathlon. You will need to take part in three disciplines – cycling, running and swimming – but you can choose where, when and how you complete each discipline as long as it takes place in the month of September. There are also five levels of challenge:

Try-a-tri – 400m swim/10k bike/2.5 km run

The Sprint – 750m swim/20km bike/5km run

Olympian – 1.5km swim/40km bike/10km run

Demi Ironman – 1.9km swim/90km bike/13.1 mile run

Full Ironman – 3.8km swim/180km bike/43km run

You can choose your level of challenge as well as the time and place.

The registration fee to take part is £10.00 and on receipt of this, you will be sent further information. You will be asked to record your times/distances and once you have completed your disciplines and provided satisfactory evidence, you will receive a medal and certificate. You can also collect sponsorship to motivate you in your achievements and to support Daybreak Oxford.

You can complete the disciplines at any location of your choice, but we are working in partnership with Kidlington & Gosford Leisure Centre. If you choose, you can complete any of the disciplines at the Leisure Centre, and on proof of registration, they will provide a free short-term pass to use their facilities.

Daybreak Oxford is a small charity which provides day centre care for people with dementia. Research has shown that one of the principal ways to avoid developing dementia in later life is to stay fit an active. We hope our Virtual Triathlon will help to encourage you to challenge your fitness, and also to help support people in Oxfordshire with dementia.
