After the amazing success of 2011 where 30 individuals from Team True Spirit completed the Ironman UK Triathlon, the project has now moved on to another level with over 60 servicemen and support staff signed up for the 2012 attempt.
The Ironman UK Triathlon consists of:
3.8km open water swim
180km bike ride over the hills around Wigan and Bolton
42.2km run (yes, thats a full marathon)
It's probably the hardest single day endurance event that you can undertake and for Team True Spirit that is even harder, given the injuries that the servicemen have sustained and are battling back from.
You can read more about the team on the website HERE
You can also make a donation to help the military charities that we support HERE
The team will be completing warm up races such as the Cotswold113 half-ironman race and the Liverpool Olympic Triathlon and other individual members will be completing other gruelling events in the build up to the big race in Bolton.
Please support us and watch this space for more information.
