up for 2nd annual Camas Prairie Triathlon
The 2nd annual Camas Prairie Triathlon, sponsored by Grangeville Physical Therapy and Groaners Fitness Center, is scheduled for August 10th and 11th at Grangeville City Pool and Pioneer Park. Last year’s inaugural event far exceeded our expectations for both the youth and adult divisions, which included 31 youth and 45 adults! Last years proceeds were used to benefit the development of the newly formed Grangeville Youth Football League. Come join in the fun as a racer, a spectator or a volunteer! The kids Splash, Pedal and Dash will be held Friday, August 10th at 6:30 p.m. Age divisions are as follows: 6-8: Swim 50 yards, bike .8 miles, run .4 miles. ** Swimmers in this division may use a kick board or flotation device if necessary. 9-11: Swim 75 yards, bike 1.2 miles, run .6 miles. 12-14: Swim 100 yards, bike 1.4 miles, run .7 miles. The adult Sprint Triathlon will be held Saturday, August 11th at 8:00 a.m. This division is for those age 15 and older. Racers will swim 250 yards, bike 8 miles and run 2 miles. 2-3 person teams may be formed for this division only and all racers must be older than 15. Individuals wishing to participate on a team, but without members for each leg may contact Groaners or check the team sign up sheet at Groaners Fitness Center. Registration forms are available at Grangeville Physical Therapy, Groaners or by E-mailing a request to playballGLQ@msn.com. All participants must pre-register by July 20th!
