Fairbairn Private Bank renews sponsorship of Jersey Junior Triathlon Club
16 January 2012
Fairbairn Private Bank has renewed its sponsorship agreement
with the Jersey Junior Triathlon Club for 2012. Part of the
well-established Jersey Triathlon Club, the junior section aims to
encourage children under 16 years of age to get involved in the
sport.
Commenting on the sponsorship agreement, Cameron Walker, head of
relationship management, said: "We are delighted to support the
Jersey Junior Triathlon Club for another year. The club actively
promotes this rigorous and demanding sport, and it is great to see
so many of the Island's children getting involved. The beauty
of triathlon is that it offers the variety of three different
sports, which makes it an extremely effective way of getting
children out and about, whatever their abilities and
backgrounds."
As well as promoting sporting excellence, the club is recognised
for the quality of its coaching, training and participation in the
community. The junior section of the club provides a varied
programme of events during the course of the year and offers
members specialist training and support. Last year's programme of
duathlon, aquathlon and triathlon events attracted over 50 children
eager to take part.

The sport of triathlon, which involves swimming, cycling and
then running, was created in the island of Hawaii and this first
race consisted of a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile cycle followed by a
26.2 mile run. The Jersey Triathlon Club juniors are challenged but
cover much shorter distances with a real emphasis on fun.
