27 Regt RLC Try a Tri project

Service Families December 2023
Members of 27 Reg RLC Triathlon team

27 Regt RLC were awarded £9,000 from the NAAFI Fund to purchase bikes, wetsuits, triathlon team race suits and numerous smaller items for the benefit of all 751 soldiers and officers within the regiment.

The team have since conducted many training sessions and attended two Army Triathlon Races so far this season. Many Service personnel of all ranks have already benefited and there is rapidly building interest by many others with the success of the team.

Sgt Marc Callaway added: “Additionally, I as the unit Triathlon Officer In Command, have just been awarded the Regimental Sports Colours award due to the success of the Tri Team.

Much of this has been aided by the AFCFT Grant, which has taken away the main barrier of stopping Service Personnel from taking part in the sport- the equipment! So again, thank you NAAFI/AFCFT!”

The Trust administered the NAAFI Fund for three years and has since passed back the administration to Royal NAAFI.
