Story
How this all started... my Dad got into these types of events about 15 years ago, and I mentioned off the cuff that I would do one with him one day. He didn't forget that... so 3 years ago we did our first Quadrathlon together. We somehow managed to win our, somewhat uncontested, category (first team home consisting of two generations of the same family). The prior two years have been canceled due to COVID, but thankfully this one has come through, so we are attempting to defend our title. This is the last time we are going to be doing it together as my Dad is "retiring" (old man) from the event so it's going to be a special one.
The event itself is a
- 1-mile swim in the sea
- 4-mile kayak
- 45-mile cycle
- 8-mile run across the beach and marshes
We are raising money for the event's charity The Holt Youth Project.
The Holt Youth Project exists to provide a safe environment for young and disadvantage people to meet and socialise with the minimum of supervision, this builds up their social communication skills and promotes ownership.
