The Superhero Tri is back for another brilliant year and we are joined by many familiar faces including journalist and presenter, Alex Brooker and Paralympian Maisie Summers-Newton MBE to take on the challenge with thousands of other participants.
The Superhero series is the largest sporting event for people with disabilities, hosted by Paralympian Sophia Warner. To find out more about the origins of the Superhero Series and Sophia’s journey as an athlete, read this article from last year.
Held again at Dorney Lake, near Windsor, and powered by Marvel, the event saw both adults and children taking part alongside celebrity team captains. This year, we follow and hear from young Sienna, a participant in this year’s event on her aspirations to become a paralympian!
For more information and to be ready for the winter 2025 and Summer 2026 events on their website here.
