Virgin Active London Triathlon

  • About

    The London Triathlon is the largest triathlon in the world with over 10,000 people taking part. It includes world class athletes as well as first timers. With four distances (Super Sprint, Sprint, Olympic and Olympic Plus) there is something to suit all needs either as individuals or as part of a team.

    The opportunity to cycle through the closed roads of London via the 02 arena, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and the London Eye make it a unique event for all involved. The run and swim course takes place at Docklands providing an excellent venue for friends and family to come and cheer you on!

  • Raise money

    A great way to boost your fundraising if you're doing a sponsored event is to raise money online.

    Setting up an online giving page with JustGiving or Virgin Money Giving is a great way to raise money, enabling people to sponsor you really easily. All you need to do is visit the site, select Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research as your charity and then create your page. You can then personalise it with photos and messages and send the link to everyone you know.

    Use social networking websites

    A great way to increase awareness of your event is to add details to your social networking site; be it Facebook, Twitter or MySpace. It's even possible now to link these sites directly to your online giving page, making it even simpler for people to donate. Another way to inspire people, and raise awareness, is to blog about how your preparation is going. If people see the amount of time you're committing, and why you're doing your event, then they'll be more likely to dig deep!

    Email your family and friends

    Target your most generous supporters first. People tend to match the amounts already listed on the page.

    Be persistent

    Try re-sending the link to your page one week before the event to get some last minute sponsors. Then send it one more time once you've done the event - it's never too late!

    Raise money while you shop

    If you shop online, you can raise money for us simply by signing up with easyfundraising. Visit your favourite online retailers through this site and they will donate a percentage of your purchase to us at no extra cost to you!
