Terrific turnout for North Kesteven Triathlon

Last week, Better's One NK leisure centre in North Kesteven hosted a children's triathlon organised by the Brownlee Foundation.

The foundation was set up ten years ago by brothers Jonny and Alistair Brownlee to inspire children to take part in sport.

Twenty-four schools attended from all over Lincolnshire and over 630 children had a bash at all three disciplines - swimming, cycling and running. Twenty Better team members also volunteered at the event.

Each child went home with a goody bag containing medals, a T-shirt, water, fruit and popcorn.

One NK is run by charitable social enterprise GLL under the 'Better' brand. Supporting the wellbeing of local communities is an important part of the organisation's ethos.

Shaun Fisher, GLL’s Community and Health Manager in the region, comments, “The day was a fantastic success and the Brownlee Foundation have said they would like to make it an annual event. All credit to the One NK staff for their fantastic support.”
