A NEW CHALLENGE. THE SAME MISSION.

Chris Tomlinson is raising money for THE CHRISTIE CHARITY

1/2 IRONMAN® Weymouth · 20 September 2026

The Christie charity provides enhanced services over and above what the NHS funds. Your support can help us to fund life-changing and potentially life-saving projects that will benefit cancer patients both now and in the future.

Story

After completing the Manchester and London marathons on consecutive Sundays and raising £3500 for The Christie Charity, the journey continues.

This time, the challenge goes beyond 26.2 miles.

Over the next four months, I will be taking on:

3 Triathlons and 1 Half IRONMAN® (70.3)

Testing endurance, resilience and determination — while continuing to raise vital funds for The Christie Charity.

Every swim, every mile and every step is dedicated to supporting cancer care, research and hope.

THE EVENTS

Southport Triathlon: Sunday 17 May

Slateman Triathlon Snowdonia: Sunday 14 June

Ripon Triathlon York: Sunday 12 July

½ IRONMAN® (70.3) Weymouth: Sunday 20 September

THE CHALLENGE

3 TRIATHLONS (Standard Olympic: 1.5k, 40k, 10k)

Building endurance, strength and resilience through swim, bike and run disciplines.

½ IRONMAN® (70.3)

The ultimate endurance challenge:

1.9km swim

90km bike ride

21.1km run

A test of physical and mental determination.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Just a short time ago, I was recovering from Stage Two bowel cancer and could barely run 200 metres.

Today, this campaign represents something much bigger than sport.

# Beyond 26.2 is about:

# Resilience

# Recovery

# Second chances

# Pushing beyond limits

# Supporting life-saving cancer care

This challenge is my way of giving something back to The Christie for the care and support they provide to thousands of families every year.

Funds raised help support:

# Cutting-edge cancer research

# Specialist treatment equipment

Every donation makes a real difference.
