VIDEO: Paul Horsfall of Hydrock and Brown Jacobson’s Kirsten Walters took the top honours in the first JLL Property Triathlon North on Friday.
Horsfall took the men’s trophy with a time of 59:26, while Walters won the women’s competition at 1:15:29.
The inaugural North event attracted 700 competitors to Peel Holdings’ MediaCityUK in Salford.
The sprint triathlon included a 750m swim, 20km cycle and 5km run.
Competitors helped raise more than £22,000 for two charities: Starlight and The Christie Charitable Fund.
JLL UK chief executive Guy Grainger said: “The atmosphere was brilliant. It’s very different to Dorney Lake (where the established Property Triathlon is held).
“It’s great to be up here in Manchester, and what a great setting at MediaCity in Salford. It feels more urban, a bit more buzzy and dynamic and they’re definitely making a good fist of it up here.”
Peel Land & Property development director James Whittaker said: “It’s been a brilliant success. To get 700 people doing it in the first year is great.”
