The sky is the limit - you are only limited by your imagination because the triathlon will follow a “choose your own adventure” format. Athletes can get creative and pick the third segment of their race. Here’s where the family fun really begins! Athletes get to create their course, and design their transitions, water stations & start finish lines!! Add in some fun elements … setting up a sprinkler for a water station run through would be super fun 😊!
