The impact of Coronavirus is all around us and inescapable. It is an extremely challenging and unsettling time for everybody, but it is especially difficult for vulnerable young people.

Story

Earlier this year, Triangle pledged to back Centrepoint's vital work to prevent young people from becoming homeless. Now, more than ever, they need our support to help ensure the vulnerable have a place to call home, a place where they can stay safe.

With fundraising events having to be abandoned due to Covid-19, we’ve decided to undertake our very own triathlon, or ‘triangathlon’ if you will. Between us, the Triangle team will hike, run and cycle the equivalent distance of some of the UK’s most treasured landmarks, clocking up over 1,000 miles to raise funds for Centrepoint – that's Scafell Pike, Hadrian’s Wall and Lands’ End to John o’Groats all rolled into one!

The Triangathlon challenge

Limited to home gym equipment and once-daily outside exercise, we won’t actually get to cycle, run or hike up these iconic locations but equipped with our imaginations and very worthy motivations, nothing will stop us covering an equal distance – here goes!

Hike – Standing at 978 metres, we will hike the height of England’s highest mountain, Scafell Pike, in flights of stairs (412 in total!)

Cycle – Conquering the 874 miles between Britain’s North and South divide, we will cycle the distance from Lands’ End to John o’Groats

Run – Stretching 73 miles from coast to coast, we will run the equivalent of Roman Britain’s Hadrian’s Wall and back again (that's 146 miles in total!).

We will be tracking our progress throughout the lockdown using Strava and will post updates as we go.

If you can spare a few pounds to support us in our goal, please do donate – every penny goes towards helping vulnerable people during this unprecedented time. Thank you and wish us luck!
