Meet a world class champion and Run with Chrissie Wellington

The Jane Tomlinson Appeal brings Chrissie Wellington to Leeds

Next month, the Jane Tomlinson Appeal will be bringing you the ultimate in training runs – as they invite you to join current Ironman World Champion Chrissie Wellington for a 5K in Leeds!

In a rare visit to the UK, inspirational Appeal patron Chrissie will rally our runners in a unique pre-Christmas event, with all proceeds from the event going directly to the Jane Tomlinson Appeal.

Runners, fundraisers and triathletes alike are being invited to join Chrissie and take part in the once-in-a-lifetime event, which will be held on Wednesday 21st December at Leeds Metropolitan University. Starting with a leisurely 5K run, participants will then take part in group training sessions followed by a buffet and evening Q&A session, where they can ask the inspirational world class athlete their questions.

Chrissie said: “Jane has always been a huge inspiration to me and I have a lot of admiration for her. To be able to host an event like this and share my passion with people, while also fundraise for the Appeal, is a privilege.”

Having completed her first triathlon back in 2004, Chrissie is undefeated at the Ironman distance and is now four-time Ironman World Champion following her spectacular win at Kona in October this year.

Whether participants take part in the full training session or just book a ticket to the evening Q&A there is something for everyone, so sign up here now!
