It’s back! 💙
Following the incredible support for our Indoor Triathlon over the past two years, we’re delighted to announce that the HCCN 12-Hour Indoor Triathlon is returning for year three on Tuesday 27 October 2026.
Once again, we’ll be taking over part of the Leisure Club at Delta Hotels by Marriott Huntingdon, with one simple challenge: to keep three activities moving continuously for 12 hours, from 8am to 8pm.
And we need plenty of people to help us do it!
12 hours, three activities, 30-minute slots
Throughout the day, participants will take on 30-minute slots across three activities:
🏊 Swim for 30 minutes
🚲 Cycle for 30 minutes
🏃 Walk or run on the treadmill for 30 minutes
There are 24 slots for each activity, giving us 72 slots to fill across the 12 hours.
You can choose one 30-minute slot, take on several, or even have a go at more than one activity.
And please don’t be put off by the word Triathlon.
You don’t need to be an athlete or massively active to take part.
A gentle cycle, a few lengths of the pool or a walk on the treadmill all count. There are no distances to hit and it’s not a competition. You simply take part at a pace that feels right for you.
The challenge is something we complete together, by keeping the pool, bike and treadmill moving all day. 💙
Want to be part of year three?
This year’s Triathlon takes place:
📅 Tuesday 27 October 2026
⏰ 8am to 8pm
📍 Delta Hotels by Marriott Huntingdon, Hinchingbrooke Business Park, Kingfisher Way, Huntingdon, PE29 6FL
To take part, simply complete our short registration form and tell us which activity or activities you’d like to do and when you’re available.
The HCCN team will then put together the timetable and get back to you with your allocated 30-minute slot or slots.

Last year was something special 💙
Our second Indoor Triathlon in October 2025 brought together 40 participants, who swam, cycled, walked and ran throughout the day to keep all three activities moving for the full 12 hours.
Together with an incredible 247 JustGiving supporters, plus those who donated and supported us on the day, the event went on to raise £7,546.50 for HCCN.
But the day became about much more than the final fundraising total.
It brought people together. There was plenty of encouragement, conversation and laughter throughout the 12 hours, with HCCN supporters, members of our team, trustees, nurses and members of the local community all getting involved.
Want to see what the Triathlon is really like?
Take a look back at our 2025 event, including photos from throughout the day, and see some of the brilliant people who made it happen.

Can we do it again in 2026?
This year, we’re aiming to raise £4,000 through our HCCN Triathlon 2026 JustGiving campaign.
Everyone taking part will be encouraged to create their own fundraising page connected to the main campaign, so friends, family and colleagues can get behind their challenge.
Every donation will help HCCN continue to support adults 18+ living with or beyond a cancer diagnosis in Huntingdonshire, providing free services and support to local people when they need us.
If taking part isn’t for you, you can still be part of the day by supporting our participants and donating through our main campaign. 💙
