Things to consider before setting up a team
Competition:
Aside from the different race cups that can be won by individuals or corporate teams, competition is flexible and can be had in the following ways:
Individually– to compete against colleagues
Inter-firm– between different internal teams/departments
Inter-industry– to compete at an inter-industry level for the overall triathlon cup
When you register please make it clear which level of competition you or your teams would like to be entered for.
Costs:
Registration for the normal races is £99 per person and £198 for a team of 3 taking part in the relay. This includes race entry, training advice and support in the run up to the event, a complimentary recovery tent provided by Alvarez and Marsal, post-race BBQ provided by Greenwood and a t-shirt and race medal, along with free parking and other perks on race day.
Participants or their employers are asked to donate or raise a minimum sponsorship of £400 per entrant with the aim of raising more than £100,000 in support of Impetus-PEF. The coveted Transforming Lives Cup will be awarded to the individual or team who raises the most for Impetus-PEF.
Is your company able to cover the cost of registration or sponsorship? Does your company have a matching scheme to incentivise fundraising?
