The event, delivered by Tata Steel UK; the Brownlee Foundation, established by Olympic medal-winning triathletes Alistair and Jonny Brownlee to inspire children to get active and take part in sport; and Pho3nix Kids, a free sports and education platform for children and schools; will give seven to eleven-year-olds the chance to take part in a fun, non-competitive triathlon.

First launched by Tata Steel in 2007, the ‘Kids of Steel’ triathlon aims to bring together the local community to encourage young children, regardless of their experience, to get active through swimming, cycling and running in a safe environment.

The children will swim around 50 metres, cycle 800 metres in a traffic-free zone and finish with a 300 metre run. However, these distances can be adjusted to ensure every child has a positive experience, whatever their ability or needs.

Tata Steel’s Shotton Works Manager Matt Roberts said: “I am excited to see another Kids of Steel event taking place in Mold this year to give children of all abilities a positive experience of all three sports. “It’s a great event that brings the whole community together, with over 40 of our Shotton steelworkers volunteering on the day.”

Alistair Brownlee from the Brownlee Foundation added: “We’re thrilled to be partnering with Tata Steel for this year’s Kids of Steel triathlon, a community event to get young people moving.

“Together, our goal is to ensure every child enjoys their experience and goes home with a big smile on their face.”

There is the opportunity for press to attend the event, and speak to representatives of Tata Steel and the Brownlee Foundation on the day or beforehand.
