Four local Jersey triathletes were due to take part in Challenge Roth, an Ironman distance triathlon which has had to be cancelled due to Covid-19.

The awesome foursome have decided to put their training and muscles to good use and complete a different challenge whilst raising funds for the great work being done by the Jersey Food Bank. The Jersey Salvation Army have set up a centralised food bank for the island of Jersey, working with others to supply food and essential supplies to those hardest hit by the current crisis. .

Welcome to ‘Challenge Lockdown’!!

Fintan Kennedy, Chris Stephens, Andy Ruddy and Chris Bell will each be completing the challenge, which is set to take anywhere between 4.5-6 hrs!!

This event is being held in strict accordance with local Coronavirus guidelines and will only see the swim take place outside of the participants homes. The swim and travel time will be completed within their 2hr exercise time and each of the participants will be completing the swim at separate bays. The swim will be done close to the shore line in laps and each of them will have a member from their household with them to ensure they are safe.
