The Pied Piper Junior Aquathlon & Triathlon is a fun sporting challenge which raises funds for two charities and is designed for children aged 8 to 16. The aquathlon comprises a swim in the heated main pool of the lido followed by a run around Sandford Park, whilst the Triathlon includes a cycle in the park in-between the swim and run.
The event is managed in partnership with Sandford Lido Ltd (Registered charity #1052203) and Pied Piper Appeal (Registered charity #1011611).
