Instead of driving to Blenheim Palace to support the Hall Triathletes, Chris Godwin and his band of merry cyclists – parents, friends and staff – will once again ride from The Hall to Blenheim, a distance of around 70m/110km, in an effort to raise a fund for the charity Unitas Youth Zone in Barnet, set up to provide a safe, warm, inspiring place where young people can always find supportive role models, a hot meal for just £1, and amazing activities, from boxing to beat boxing, roller skating to climbing, football, volleyball and visual arts.
The Hall, led by the Triathlon Team, are hoping to raise £50k this year through the Blenheim Palace initiative; to help the fund-raising efforts, the Tour de Godwin asks for a minimum contribution of £200 from each participating cyclist, which can be a direct contribution, or sponsorship, or a combination which will go directly to this year’s charity Unitas.
Departure from The Hall will be at 6.30am on Sunday 4th June, so that we arrive at Blenheim well in advance of the Triathlon start for those who wish to watch their loved ones compete. Return by road or rail. Depending on ability and experience, it is likely that three groups of varying speeds will set off from the school; Fast, Medium and Leisurely. The majority of the Tour group riders should arrive at The Hall’s marquee at Blenheim before the first wave of triathletes set off around midday, ready to cheer on and support their other halves and friends facing the triathlon challenges.
In 2023 the ride is again going to be mapped, guided and supported. It is open to anyone who wants to participate. The route to Woodstock is very picturesque in places and a time to stop for a rest is scheduled en route for refreshment and to admire the scenery.
