Members of Rotary clubs in the area are delighted to be involved in giving support to the athletes and working alongside the Ironman UK team in the 2008 Ironman UK Triathlon. Both the race organisers and Rotary are working together to achieve a common goal of ensuring this global event runs smoothly and meets all the expectations of both the competitors and local community alike.

A secondary but equally important purpose of the Charity Partnership is to take the opportunity of helping those less fortunate than ourselves by raising funds for charitable causes.
In this Rotary and the Ironman UK race organisers have committed themselves with  equal endeavour.

 

“A unique and vibrant partnership with common goals.”
