Ironman 70.3 UK 2010
Nov 5th
I have decided at next years Ironman 70.3 UK I will be raising money on behalf of the Rotary International. Rotary are the charity partners of the event and do a lot to raise money for many varied charities. The Ironman 70.3 consists of a 1.2 mile swim followed by a 56 mile bike ride and then finished off with a 13.1 mile half marathon run. If this isn’t hard enough, the UK event is considered the hardest event of it kind in the world due to the 2648 meters of combined climbing throughout the bike and run course.
Quick Facts
Race Date – Sunday 20th June 2010
Race Location – Wimbleball Lake, Exmoor Race
Distance – 70.3 miles inc 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike and 13.1 mile run
The principal causes jointly supported by Ironman UK & Rotary in connection with the 2010 event are:

These are all worthy causes which I am proud to raise money for.
