Paul Grindlay – 5K / 10K // 500m mini-Triathlon

is raising money for The Guhyaloka Trust

Team: Get Fit for Guhyaloka

LBC Triathlon for Guhyaloka · 25 April 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

Guhyaloka has been the Triratna Buddhist Order's primary place for men's ordination since 1987. It has been vitally important in helping to shape what our community offers the world today. But to continue to thrive, it needs financial support.

Story

Guhyaloka is the men’s ordination retreat centre in the south of Spain for the Triratna Buddhist Community. Since its inception in the mid-80s, more than seven hundred men have been ordained there, and many other group and solitary retreats have taken place there too.

It is an extraordinary space, nestled on the side of a mountain in what is known as The Secret Valley. A major revamp is currently underway to prepare the retreat centre for future generations: increasing capacity, repairing and renovating buildings, and improving Guhyaloka’s environmental sustainability. It’s a major project that requires significant fundraising.

With that in mind, I’m going to run a mini-triathlon to raise funds.

I will be running 5 km, cycling 10km, and swimming 500m in Hampstead ponds. It’ll take place on the morning of the 25th of April.

I’ll be training over the next few weeks to ready myself and am sending this out for sponsorship. Any contribution you can make will be much appreciated!

Thanks so much.
