Event: 
Artemis Great Kindrochit Quadrathlon 2010

July 10, 2010

A warm welcome to all of those taking part in the 2010 Artemis Great Kindrochit Quadrathlon, Mercy Corps is delighted once again be the beneficiary charity for this fantastic event!

The Artemis Great Kindrochit Quadrathlon is recognised as arguably Scotland’s toughest one day event. Participants must swim one mile across Loch Tay, walk/run 15 miles over 7 Munros, kayak for 8 miles before finally finishing the challenging event with a 34 mile cycle around the entire loch.

The 2009 event was a huge success and has so far raised over £170,000 for Mercy Corps work in India. A huge thank you to all of those who are returning once again to support Mercy Corps.

Lindsay Whitelaw of Artemis said "We are delighted to be the sponsors of this unique and eccentric event. Artemis employees have previously taken part in other Wildfox challenges, and we jumped at the chance to support Mercy Corps again. The GKQ is a fun event and the quadrathlete’s will be raising funds for a very worthwhile and motivating cause."
