Footsteps Nursery (a nursery that’s just like a home) has generously come on-board with sponsorship for our fantastic junior triathletes. Not only do they have a fab logo, they are also helping our juniors to keep it real by supporting the club. The nursery is local too, based in Castle Donnington and cater for children from 0 to 5 years. From there though, they still have a couple of years until we can encourage them to be the next Jonathon Brownlee or Flora Duffy!  A huge thank-you goes out to Footsteps !
