Description

Join us for a fun-filled day at the Spencer Family YMCA and support these amazing athletes as they compete in the annual 'My Turn To Tri' Special Needs Triathlon to support YMCA Camp Aim. The Triathlon will consist of a timed 10 minutes in the indoor lap lane or zero-entry pool (flotation devices permitted), 15 minutes outside on a two or more wheeled bike (with bike and helmet supplied by the Athlete, and an outside run/walk of approximately one mile. Every Athlete must bring a race assistant. 

Each athlete must have a buddy who is available to assist the athlete in all events.  For the swim, this means being available to swim with the athlete if necessary.  For the bike, this means running or walking beside the athlete to keep them and others safe.  For the run, this means running or walking with them for the duration of the race.  It is our intention to also have a Y volunteer assigned to each athlete for their encouragement and protection, but the first protection must be from the athlete's buddy.

Please register early as we are limited to the first 50 Athletes. All participants will receive a technical race shirt, trophy and race-SWAG. The volunteer buddy will, also, receive a race T-shirt.
