Every year, thousands of people come to the iconic capital city to join the community of incredible triathletes taking on the challenge of #TheLondonTri. The event takes place at the ExCel Centre, Royal Victoria Dock and has a unique urban route, giving participants the chance to swim, bike and run past London’s world-famous landmarks. With a variety of distances, routes and wave categories to choose from, the event caters for athletes of all levels; from first-time triathletes to Olympic champions, everyone is welcome at the AJ Bell London Triathlon.
Since the UK went into lockdown 100s of CRY’s fundraising events across the UK have been postponed or cancelled. This has resulted in a significant reduction in the amount of community fundraising taking place to support CRY’s aims. In response to this we have put together some alternative ways you can continue to support CRY whilst following social distancing guidance.
Whether it’s through “Charity of the Year” partnerships, Gifts in Kind or Event Sponsorship, supporting CRY’s work through corporate giving is a great way to raise funds and awareness of CRY’s work. We are always keen to work with companies in a way that makes the best use of their resources and staff, whilst offering employees the opportunity for community involvement.
This year, we can’t all ride together, but we can unite for My Prudential RideLondon to celebrate cycling and support the UK’s charities.
