Katie's Classics

I have just completed a year of madness.

15 sporting events in 13 months from my first ever triathlon - Brighton Sprint Tri - in September 2018. To my first Olympic triathlon in September 2019. I did (at least) 1 event a month in between, ticked the London to Brighton bike ride of my bucket list and discovered a love for open water swimming.

I did all this because I wanted to and because I like a challenge. However, the support I have had throughout has been amazing and I wanted my next challenge to be bigger and for a cause. Not being content with just running the London Marathon I have decided to attempt all three of the London Classics in one year - except, because I have already done the 2 mile Serpentine I will finish my year in September with the Serpentine Super 6!

I will be doing all of this for the Youth Sport Trust @YouthSportTrust for many reasons, chief among them being that sport, especially for young people, is so important for mental health, personal identity, community and being a place to grow into a great human.

For me sport is also about challenging yourself but to do that you need a safe place and a supportive environment so to raise my target for the Youth Sports Trust I want to enable the people I know to challenge themselves - they help me fund raise and I will do the challenge with them (unless it is another marathon - I am not that daft).

That leaves me with the question - what is your challenge and when are we doing it?
