A WOMEN-only triathlon event will be held in the North-East this summer to raise money for the fight against breast cancer.
Triathlon Pink will be held in Sunderland on Sunday June 29 for women of all ages and abilities to have a fun day out take part in swimming, cycling and running.
The chief operating officer of events company Sunderland Live, Chris Alexander, said: “We’re delighted to be bringing yet another brilliant event to this year’s events calendar proving there really is something for everyone.
“The Triathlon Pink is for a great cause and we’re proud to support and help deliver such a fantastic event.”
Michaela Smith, Participation Manager of Triathlon Pink UK, said, "Triathlon Pink really offers women the chance to socially connect while being active and supporting each other towards a common goal.
"The format provides women with a safe and non-threatening environment to participate as well as giving them the rare chance to do something just for themselves."
The Triathlon Pink series in the UK aims to raise £1m for Breakthrough Breast Cancer, having raised millions in Australia since 2006.
The Sunderland venues will be the Sunderland Aquatics Centre and Stadium Park. For more information or to sign up visit www.sunderlandlive.co.uk
