Join our team for The London Triathlon 2011 and help change the future for people with epilepsy.
Take on the ultimate sporting challenge!
The triathlon is perfect for beginners and
for experienced triathlethes alike, with
Super Sprint, Sprint and Olympic distance
categories.
There is nothing to pay upfront. All we
ask is that our triathletes raise £500
in sponsorship from their entry.
We have guaranteed charity places available
and we sold out of them really quickly in
2010 - so do get in touch and contact Jo
for an entry form as soon as you can. Alternatively
you can download one here.
You can also enter the London Triathlon
here.
If you sign up by 30 November you will get
a guaranteed entry, and entries between
1 December and end Jan will go into a ballot.
If you do get your own place, we would love
you to join our team too. There is no minimum
sponsorship target for own place runners;
just let Jo
know once you have signed up and she will
get a fundraising pack and vest out to you.

By competing for Epilepsy Research UK,
you will be helping to fund ground-breaking
research in the UK that will help change
the future for people with epilepsy. Every
project we fund is rigorously assessed by
a panel of experts, to ensure it has the
potential to advance our understanding of
the condition and improvements in the treatment
of those with epilepsy.
There is no known cure for epilepsy
Over 30% of people with epilepsy have
seizures that do not respond to drug treatment
In over 60% of cases there is no known
cause
Every year 1,000 people die as a result
of epilepsy
You can help!
Every pound raised by you will increase
the amount of research we can fund.
We are here to support you every step of the way, and each runner will receive a fundraising pack full of ideas, sponsor forms and a personalised Epilepsy Research UK running vest for the race day. We also have fundraising materials available for all your needs, such as drinks mats, banner tape, balloons, pens, ribbon badges - you'll get a form to order what you need in your fundraising pack!
Epilepsy Research UK has teamed up with
