We want to continue to make our race inviting and newcomer friendly,
where beginners and experienced triathletes can have a great experience!

To achieve this, we are now splitting the races over three days to allow more
entrants and to prevent crowded lanes.

Tri-101

Triathlon 101 will begin Monday, February 4, 2008 from 7:00-8:00 p.m. and will run 12 consecutive Mondays.
Focuses on swimming, but will cover other aspects of the sport.
It is a drop in class, and the fee is $5.00 plus admission to the Rec Center.
