Support St Ann’s Hospice by taking on sporting events this July

Support St Ann’s Hospice by taking on sporting events this July

People living or working in Stockport are being encouraged to challenge themselves and help support St Ann’s Hospice by taking part in the Salford Triathlon & Aquabike.

St Ann’s Hospice are honoured that this year’s Salford Triathlon & Aquabike event is supporting their charity. They’re encouraging supports who love a challenge to get involved in what promises to be a fantastic event.

The Salford Triathlon & Aquabike is on Sunday 28th July 2024 and takes place around the bustling MediaCityUK, Salford Quays.

The Triathlon involves a swim, bike and run in that order and the Aquabike is a swim and bike but no run. Something for everyone so why not sign up today to take on a challenge!

The event offers athletes of all abilities top class racing on fast, flat courses and whether you are an experienced athlete or a first timer making your debut in these fantastic sports, this is the race for you.

Dave and Karen Quartermain, Founders of USwim, says:

“This is our second year organising this event and if it is anything like last year’s it is going to be special.

“We are really looking forward to supporting St Ann’s Hospice again and having their volunteers amazing energy on the day too. It’s such a great event for first timers to triathlon and those wanting to push it a little bit too.”

The route takes in landmarks such as the Lowry Theatre, Imperial War Museum North, Coronation Street and the BBC studios.

Marie Foster, Innovation and Digital Fundraiser at St Ann’s Hospice, says:

“Dave and Karen supported St Ann’s back in January with their New Year’s Day swim and we’re really excited that they’re continuing to support the Hospice with this event.

“We’re really looking forward to volunteering and supporting all the athletes on the day and it would be fantastic to have some St Ann’s supporters taking part too!”
