Follow the unique journey of Starr Trust Founder & Chairman Rob Starr, whilst he takes on an extreme year long challenge - an Olympic Distance Triathlon every week for 52 weeks in 2022!
One of the inspirational young people we support is Nathan, who’s dream is to get to the next Paralympics. Rob’s unique ‘52 Triathlons in 52 Weeks’ challenge came about because Nathan needs to raise around £20,000, to enable him to reach the next Paralympics as a wheelchair tennis player. He is a remarkable young man who has Cerebral Palsy and who until 18 months ago, was a successful wheelchair racer who the Starr Trust was supporting. During a world championship race, Nathan suffered an accident that meant he could no longer race. So rather than give up he switched to wheelchair tennis and is now on the cusp of being chosen for the next Paralympics.

Triathlon 20/52 and the best one yet. In fact at 2hrs 47 minutes it’s the fastest Olympic Triathlon I’ve done!
Triathlon 19/52 (almost at the big 20!) This was a Tri of two sides for me today...
I had a tough day with my Crohns yesterday and I thought I’d be unable to get this done today...
After 2 weeks with no exercise, having already banked two before I went away, this one was proper hard.
Triathlon 16/52 done. So officially I remain on target with one Tri a week in the year so far, plus 2 banked for my upcoming holiday.
