Fundraising
Fundraising is completed before the event via your fundraising page. This is automatically created for you when filling in the entry form. It can easily be shared with family, friends, or anyone to help raise fundraising donations online.
Secure your place now and start your fundraising whenever you like.
By signing up to the UK Schools Charity Triathlon, each competitor commits to a minimum fundraising target of £50 to take part, with an ideal goal of £100, split between your school and chosen charity.
Teams
A team can consist of two or more members.
All team members must use the same team name and sign up for the same distance.
Teams are simply a way for children to take part alongside their friends. Each team member completes the full triathlon themselves. They’ll start one after another at 15‑second intervals from the swimming pool, and they’re welcome to cycle and run together, finishing as a group if they’d like.
Every child will still receive their own individual overall time.
