Corus Kids of Steel Introduces Kids to Triathlons

10/05/2009 - The third annual Corus Kids of Steel series took place in September, with more than 3600 children running, cycling, and swimming around junior triathlon courses.

The third annual Corus Kids of Steel series took place in September, with more than 3600 children in Corby, Scunthorpe, Teesside, and Newham in London running, cycling, and swimming around junior triathlon courses.
 
Organized by Corus and the British Triathlon Federation, the Corus Kids of Steel series provides bikes, helmets, and t-shirts; the children only needed trainers and swimsuits to participate.
 
“We are delighted to provide children with an early experience of triathlon,” said British Triathlon Federation CEO Zara Hyde Peters. “In conjunction with our corporate partners Corus, we take great pride in providing a fun, active, and enjoyable day that creates opportunities for children to achieve their personal triathlon challenges, while keeping big smiles on their faces.”
 
Construction Solutions Director Murray Bean, who represented Corus at the event in Newham—host borough for the 2012 London Olympics—added: “Grassroots triathlon is a major part of our support for British Triathlon and it’s tremendous that so many children took part in the Corus Kids of Steel events. We hope that the children will go away with a positive experience and, whether they choose to take up triathlon or not, that they continue to lead active and healthy lifestyles.”
