The ten boys with their teachers from Ormesby Comprehensive School hiked 30 miles, spent a night under canvas on the North York Moors, canoed to Whitby then cycled home.
Now there are plans to make the triathlon an annual event which may involve other schools.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1988, where a group of intrepid Middlesbrough pupils embarked on an extraordinary adventure. These ten boys from Ormesby Comprehensive School showcased their determination and resilience as they paddled their own canoes in a grueling 30-hour triathlon. The challenges faced by these young adventurers were not for the faint-hearted. They began their journey by hiking an impressive distance of 30 miles, spending a night under canvas on the rugged North York Moors. Undeterred by fatigue, they then took to their canoes and navigated the waters all the way to Whitby before completing their arduous quest by cycling back home. Their remarkable feat did not go unnoticed, as plans were soon set in motion to make this triathlon an annual event involving other schools. The picture captures this courageous team alongside Terry Moore and county PE adviser Elaine Gray - proud mentors who guided them throughout this incredible endeavor. This snapshot is a testament to the indomitable spirit of youth, showcasing both physical fitness and mental fortitude. It serves as a reminder that with dedication and perseverance, even seemingly insurmountable challenges can be conquered. Decades later, this image continues to inspire us with its timeless message of courage and teamwork. It stands as a symbol of health, fitness, camaraderie among schoolchildren in England's vibrant North East region during that era.
