First TryAthlon in Harrisonburg set for August 9

Sign (your child) up for the first ever Youth Try-athlon in Harrisonburg to take place on August 9th.  My son, Luke, will be competing, and I hope to see many of you and your kids out there as well.

Per the City website....

This new program is geared toward being a fun non-competitive introduction to triathlons.  The emphasis is completion over competition.  All finishers will receive an event medal. There will be two age groups for this event, ages 5-9 and ages 10-14.

This event will take place on Saturday, August 9 starting in Westover Park. The swim portion will take place in Westover Pool (5-9 swim 50 meters, 10-14 swim 100 meters); the run and bike portion will take place in Westover Park and the surrounding neighborhood. Maps of the run and bike course will be below.

$20 per child, registration deadline is August 1, 2014.
