Five TLA teammates will be taking part in Ironman Italy on Saturday, a triathlon like no other. Anton, Tom, Neil, Abel and Joshua will take in the breathtakingly beautiful and historic scenery of Cervia, just off the Emilia-Romagna coast – one of Italy’s most famous regions for art, nature and food.

Our team have been training hard, even swimming in the Mersey as part of their training, to ensure they’re ready for what Italy’s only Ironman challenge has to offer. The challenge begins in Romagna with a 3.8km swim, before each athlete cycles 180km through the Natural Park of Salt Pens of Cervia and finally completes a marathon taking in the region’s most prominent landmarks.

The event is the latest in a series of charity events being planned as part of a commitment to raise money for mental health charity NABS.
