Kier Staff take on Mountain Triathlon Fundraiser
A team from Kier, a leading construction and maintenance company, has just completed a mountain triathlon to help us and raised an amazing £4348 donation.
The format for the event is a 7 mile canoe from Huntsham Bridge near Goodrich to Monmouth, down the Wye Valley, followed by a 20 mile cycle to Abergavenny rising 1050ft, topped off with a 1.5 mile run up Sugar Loaf mountain, rising another 900ft. This will then be done in reverse to Monmouth before canoeing another 3 miles to Redbrook for a well-earned stop at the pub. The challenge was undertaken over one full day on Friday 20th October 2017, with the start at 7.30am.
As a project team, they managed to raise a fantastic £4,348.75 which far exceeds their £2500 target!
Tom Hall, from Kier and organiser of the challenge said, ‘On behalf of Kier I’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who took part and donated to the mountain triathlon 2017. It was certainly a physically and mentally challenging day but the event was completed!
Our thanks to Tom and all the team for their huge fundraising efforts.
