Tata Kids of Steel

Since 2007 Tata Kids of Steel events have taken place across the UK, encouraging children towards sport and a healthier lifestyle as well as providing a great day out for the local community. Tata Steel staff have volunteered at the events, enabling up to 1,000 children at each event to experience triathlon.

The format follows the form of a short swim of 40-60 metres, followed by a traffic free cycle of 800 – 1200 metres and a run of approximately 300 metres. The events are fully inclusive ensuring children have a fun and positive experience of sport, regardless of ability. Bikes and helmets are provided by British Triathlon and every child that participates receives a t-shirt, swim cap, gym sack and medal.

Tata Steel Ireland and its distribution sites in Lisburn, Derry~Londonderry, Dublin and Cork will be supporting the Belfast Tata Kids of Steel event and promoting to schools to take part and staff to volunteer.

Tata Kids of Steel will be visiting 24 venues across the UK between April and July in 2012.
