For the third year in succession, Santander will lend its support to The Jenson Button Trust Triathlon. First staged in the summer of 2012 the triathlon has rapidly increased in size with Santander being a key sponsor throughout.
Held on 12 July 2014 in the private grounds of the fabulous Luton Hoo estate in Bedfordshire, the event has gone from strength to strength, offering strong competition in a relaxed family festival atmosphere. The event has something to offer everyone – whether an experienced triathlete or those just wanting the challenge of taking on the former Champion and current McLaren Mercedes driver.
On Santander’s renewed commitment Jenson said, “I am very grateful to Santander for their continued support. Their contribution will help increase awareness and fundraising for the Jenson Button Trust and Cancer Research UK. I really hope as many Santander employees and customers get involved as possible; I look forward to meeting and competing against them on 12 July.”
Keith Moor, Chief Marketing Officer, Santander said “Santander is delighted to be supporting the Jenson Button Trust Triathlon once again in 2014, having been involved since the inception of the event in 2012. As well as supporting incredibly worthy causes, the family focused natured of the event ensures a unique experience and is hugely appealing.
“It provides another way for our staff and customers to take on new challenges and achieve new goals, something as a bank we are focused on supporting.”
The 2014 event will give competitors the chance to race twice, with the preliminary heat consisting of a 300m lake swim, 9K bike ride and 2.5K run. The top performers will then go on to the final (750m swim, 15K bike ride, 5K run) and the runners up will enter the ‘wooden spoon’ race.
