Big Brother winner in Jersey Triathlon for Les Amis

The first winner of Big Brother and last year’s Mr Battle, Craig Phillips, is competing in this weekend’s Jersey Triathlon.

The 44-year- old will tackle the Sprint-length 750m swim, 40 km cycle and 5 km run to raise money for Les Amis. Craig is Patron of the charity, which supports Islanders with learning disabilities and / or associated conditions.

Craig said: “I have completed a few triathlons in the UK so when I heard about the Jersey Triathlon, it was quickly added it to my ‘Must Do’ list. Over the last year and a half, since I became Patron of Les Amis, I have come to love Jersey and its people. It is such a beautiful Island and I’m looking forward to discovering more of it this weekend, even though I’ll probably be in quite a bit of pain!”

Craig will run as a ‘Les Amis Legend’ – a new campaign to encourage Islanders to

take up a challenge in support of the charity.
