“Our athletes are very excited about competing in this major industry event. With the restrictions that have been in place over the last year, sporting activities have become more important than ever and the event has encouraged people to stay motivated and active. The triathlon also offers a great opportunity to network and catch-up with contacts in the industry once again. We have a strong team attending who want to achieve some great results and we are looking forward to supporting them.
The event is open to all abilities and fitness levels, while also supporting a worthwhile cause by raising funds towards Crisis’ hugely important work of helping to endihomelessness. Since its inception, the event has raised over £2 million for charity.
Dylan Carmichael, Surveyor, Lease Advisory at BNP Paribas Real Estate competing in the triathlon for the second time says:
“The property triathlon is a great day to participate in, as it offers a fun challenge and the ability to socialise with our peers in the industry and raise money for a good cause. This year, I have done a number of triathlons to really push myself, and I am excited to see how my performance at this year’s event compares to my time in 2019.”
