Club practice triathlon for kids and adults Saturday morning, July 25.

Kids event starts at 0800; please come out and help marshall the course for the kids event.

The adult event will be held after the kids event ends, so everyone can first help with the kids event and then participate (if desired) in the adult event.

Adults event is a practice sprint triathlon with pool swim in the Wildewood pool: est 400m swim, 15mi bike, 5K run.

Kids’ tri is much shorter, in several distance options.

Usual payment convention: Events are free to members; non-members must pay membership fee first & join (registration available race day morning).

We had a Club Practice Duathlon on Sun May 31 at Wildwood, in California, MD; it was a 5K run/14mi bike/5K run. A brief thunderstorm blew through that morning, but the sky cleared in time for our race. We only had four racers, but we had good exercise out their running and biking. Also we got brownies to eat at the end.
