💙 What a day — and what an incredible challenge! 💙
The Pendleside Hospice Corporate Challenge 2026 Ultra Triathlon is complete, and we couldn’t be more proud of everyone involved. Absolutely INCREDIBLE effort from all four athletes, Ash Duxbury, Angelo Kornecki, Tom Berry and Pasquale Kornecki
The team took on an enormous 50km run, 100km bike ride and 5 mile swim, travelling between the local leisure centres before finishing back at Pendleside Hospice.
It was a huge physical and mental challenge, but the support the team received throughout the day made such a difference. From people cheering along the route, to messages of encouragement, donations, shares and support at the leisure centres — thank you to everyone who helped keep the team going.
A very special thank you to Pendleside Hospice for giving us the opportunity to take part in the Corporate Challenge once again and for everything you do for patients and families across our local community. It’s a privilege to be able to raise funds and awareness for such an important cause.
We’d also like to say a massive thank you to our event sponsors:
👏 Hydra-Clear
👏 Glass Atlas
👏 Northwest Payments Ltd
👏 Newton & Co
👏 Franco's Ristorante Pizzeria
Your support, generosity and backing throughout the challenge has meant so much to us.
Thank you also to Burnley Leisure & Culture and Pendle Leisure Trust for supporting the team across the route and helping make the day possible.
And finally, thank you to everyone who donated. Every pound raised will help Pendleside Hospice continue providing vital care and support to local people and their families.
We will give the final update on how much we have raised but so far, it looks like we’ve received just over £4,000!!!!
What an experience. What a team. What a cause. 💚
Thank you for helping us make every mile count. 👏
