Each year the global not-for-profit charity Restless Development host the award winning Knight Frank Schools Triathlon - the UK’s largest sport fundraising event for children. Thanks to event sponsors, Knight Frank and Neilson Beach Clubs, the much needed funds raised will go directly to charity. Cheadle Hulme School are generously hosting the event for the first time and are set to host over 400 children this year.

This year will be the biggest year yet with 12 events and nearly 11,000 children aged 7-13 participating in teams of four and raising over £1.3 million for Restless Development and more than a hundred of other charities. The vision is for this to become ‘The London Marathon’ for children.

The Knight Frank Schools Triathlon is an annual series of events that encourages children of all abilities to participate in a day of swimming, running and cycling as a team. Over 200 schools across the country use the event to build confidence in children by building their fundraising skills and sporting abilities. The events take place on Sundays in the first half of the summer term and are run by Restless Development as the organising charity with support from hundreds of local volunteers.

On Sunday 29 June over 400 children will come together at Cheadle Hulme School to take on the challenge of the Schools Triathlon. Collectively, within their teams, participants will be swimming, cycling and running over 1,500km combined - the distance from London to Barcelona.

The Knight Frank Schools Triathlon is an event which captures the determination, power and compassion of young people as well as the local community coming together to support fantastic causes. Anyone who is interested in volunteering at the event or hosting a triathlon in the future should contact the organisers at [email protected].
