Triathlon Team

The Hall Blenheim Triathlon Team turned five years old in 2019 and celebrated in style! We had our largest turnout to date with 47 participants, including 26 novices – a combination of Hall mums, dads, teachers and friends, all racing for one cause, to raise money for car T-cell research in childhood leukaemia.

Each year the Hall Tri Team comes together in the early days of the academic year, to decide upon a new charity to support and to encourage each other to start training and preparing for the event.  The beautiful surroundings of Blenheim Palace have proven the perfect setting for a triathlon. Members of the Team train hard over the winter, in groups and individually, in preparation for the Sunday triathlon (at the end of May half term).  The event is the culmination of that training and preparation – those cold winter runs and cycles, those icy dips in the Hampsteadponds come to make sense!

During the morning of the Triathlon, Hall supporters gather in the grounds of Blenheim, in a marquee positioned near to the finishing stretch with excellent views of the cycling and running stages. It is always a fantastic day of camaraderie and personal achievement. Beginners and repeaters share their tales of the day with pride, new bonds of friendship are formed.

Since 2015, more than 100 have joined us for their first triathlon and have raised more than£150,000 for various charities. Do come and join us next year. It’s great fun, it’s a great way to meet people and it raises loads of money for good causes. Do contact externalrelations@hallschool.co.uk for more details.
