The official charities will receive Gold Bond Benefits from The London Triathlon.
This includes the ‘Charity Ambassadors Scheme’ which encourages competitors to raise
a significant amount of sponsorship for the official charities. The London Triathlon
will also actively promote the official charities on all marketing materials, including
their Web site and will direct all enquiries to the four charities after the closing
date.

 

 

Nick Rusling, Event Director, The Michelob ULTRA London Triathlon, commented: “last
year the event raised well over £1 million for charity and we expect this figure
to expand significantly this year.”
