Sprint Triathlon

When: Saturday, September 3, 2011

Where: Duke University Marine Lab, Pivers Island, Beaufort, NC

Info: Volunteer check in begins at 10:30am. Race Participant check-in begins at noon and the first wave of swimmers will be sent off from Pivers Island at 1:00pm . The race takes the same route as last year and consists of an 800 meter swim to Radio Island, a 6 mile bike around historic Beaufort, and a 2.5 mile run to the finish line back at Pivers Island. There are two levels of participation, recreational (a little more fun and relaxed, but still a timed event) and competitive (really out to win!)

Participants may register as individuals for the entire event, or sign up as part of a two or three person team. A BBQ will take place immediately following the race at the Duke Marine Lab on Pivers Island, with a raffle drawing and prizes for racers, craziest costume, and most environmentally outfitted. The evening BBQ will be free for Triathlon participants and non-participants will have to pay a fee for the BBQ.
