Event: 
Artemis Great Kindrochit Quadrathlon 2009

July 11, 2009

For the sixth successive year, fund management company Artemis are sponsoring the Great Kindrochit Quadrathlon 2009.

The 2008 event raised over £175,000 for projects in Nepal that will improve the incomes of impoverished cardamom farmers and raise awareness among communities vulnerable to natural disasters.

The Artemis Great Kindrochit Quadrathlon is recognised as one of the toughest one day events in Scotland. The event involves a one mile swim across Loch Tay, a 15 mile climb over 7 Munroe, an 8 mile kayak back up the Loch followed by a 34 mile cycle around the entire Loch.

Lindsay Whitelaw of Artemis said "We are delighted to be the sponsors of this unique and eccentric event. Artemis employees have previously taken part in other Events and Activities challenges, and we jumped at the chance to support Mercy Corps again. The GKQ is a fun event and the quadrathlete's will be raising funds for a very worthwhile and motivating cause."
