The Change Step Triathlon
In September, Change Step personnel will stage a ‘triathlon’ during which volunteers will be cycling, walking and swimming. Three cyclists - all ex-military - will be notching-up 150-plus miles around key centres of population across North Wales, and another three will be walking north from Llangollen to Prestatyn along the Offa’s Dyke path as it snakes its way along the chain of Clwydian hills. All participants will then swim in relays at the Nova Centre in Prestatyn, where a reception committee and media event is being planned.
What we are raising money for
All funds raised from the triathlon will go towards training ex-military personnel to become peer mentors who in turn can use their own experiences to help others in a similar situation.

A triathlete wears a wet-suit underneath their clothing to take off after running. Some people choose to take a few minutes in every transition, but in all cases this will result in losing your time and others may make it ahead of you while you are changing clothes during the bike-swim transition.
