Some 700 school children came together at Sevenoaks School on Sunday 11th May to take part in the Knight Frank Schools Triathlon, the UK’s largest fundraising event for children. In teams, they swam, cycled and ran their hearts out and have so far raised over £108,000 for Restless Development and nearly 30 other charities chosen by the participating schools. It is a truly inspiring story of local children supporting young people to lead positive change across the world.
This is a national series organised by global youth charity Restless Development who support young leaders to create a better world and last year alone worked with over 288,000 young people. This year 12,000 pupils will be taking part in the Schools Triathlon to raise over £1.2 million. Thanks to the event sponsors, Knight Frank and Neilson Beach Clubs, the much-needed funds raised will go directly to charity.
This year was the third year that Sevenoaks School has hosted the event. It is truly a community centred day, with local businesses and over 2,000 attendees coming together for a feel-good event. Generous volunteers and Sevenoaks pupils kindly gave up their Sunday to ensure the event ran smoothly.
Lots of inspiring stories came out on the day including top fundraisers The Beacons team who raised an incredible £2,592 for charity. When asked what piece of advice they would give to other aspiring triathletes they said “Don’t give up, you can do it”.
