Bikes, Boots, Boats

Sign up to take on this one-of-a-kind triathlon event, while raising vital funds for Turning Tides, a homelessness charity supporting people in West Sussex. The event involves cycling, kayaking and hhiking – so not your traditional triathlon!

Everything (bar travel) is included in the £150 registration fee (accommodation, food, experienced guides etc). The challenge will be led by The Adventure Element, with experienced outdoor guides.

Event details:
Date: 1 – 3rd May
Location: Lake District (staying at YHA Keswick)
Registration fee: £150 (includes accommodation and meals). We are currently offering an exclusive buy 1 get 1 half price discount (ends 31/3)!

Challenge breakdown:
Cycle: 30 miles along Ullswater's scenic shores (approx. 3–4 hours)
Canoe: 2-mile paddle on Ullswater (approx. 1 hour)
Trek: 11km ascent of Helvellyn, England's third-highest peak (approx. 4–5 hours)
Why support Turning Tides?
While this challenge offers participants a sense of adventure and achievement, for many people experiencing homelessness, long distances and physical exhaustion are part of daily life.

Last financial year alone, Turning Tides supported over 1,000 people through our services, more than 400 of whom were new clients. These figures highlight the growing need across West Sussex and why our work is more vital than ever.

Through emergency accommodation, hot meals, counselling, skills training and long-term support, we help people rebuild their lives and move towards a more secure future.

If you fancy the event, or want to find out more, please drop me an email at marnie.davidson@turning-tides.org.uk.

I am also very happy to discuss potential group discounts.

Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just up for a fun challenge, this event promises excitement and great vibes. Grab your gear and join us for an adventure you won't forget!
