From the Organizer
Join us for our second annual fast-paced indoor triathlon at the Y!
This sprint-style event is great for first-timers and seasoned athletes alike. Participants will swim in our 25-yard pool, bike on a spin bike, and run on a treadmill — each for a set amount of time. Distances in each discipline will be recorded to determine your overall results.
The format will be as follows
10-minute swim
10-minute transition from swim to bike
20-minute bike
5-minute transition from bike to treadmill
10-minute treadmill
Athletes as young as 8 are welcome. Anyone under 16 must have a guardian on-site (guardians are welcome to participate too). All participants under 12 must complete and pass the YMCA swim test at least one week prior to the event (by Sunday, November 1) and should be able to continuously swim for 10 minutes. Heats will be assigned and sent out as the event approaches.
The event will tentatively take place on Sunday, November 8 and the first heat will start at 9am. Check in will start earlier. (This date is subject to change until early September)
All proceeds benefit the YMCA Annual Campaign, helping provide financial assistance so that everyone in our community can access Y programs year-round.
