Inspirational children and adults with disabilities compete in Newcastle triathlon

Inspirational children and adults with disabilities have taken part in an annual triathlon in Newcastle.

The Reason To Disability Triathlon was held at David Lloyd Club and Paddy Freeman’s Park on Sunday, June 25, and saw participants compete in swimming, running and cycling using specially adapted equipment. This year's event, sponsored by SOS Group, was the biggest one yet with around 50 people, aged nine plus, taking part.

Professional triathlete, Dan Dixon, from Morpeth, was in attendance at the event and presented participants with medals during a ceremony at the end of the day. The triathlon is organised by triathletes, Jo Shalcross and Tracey Sample, who opened the event to older entrants last year.
