Deputy Head of Mission, Greg Quinn, said:
” From 27 July – 9 September the UK is celebrating the first anniversary of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games - one of the greatest summers in living memory. We are also looking at the Legacy of the Games. There is no doubt in my mind that the London Games changed the world’s perceptions of the UK and boosted global interest in sport. This GREAT Triathlon is a wonderful sporting initiative. So please don’t stand by – be an active participant!”
