4th Street Triathlon

As Many of you already know I am Helping to plan the 8th Annual 4th Street Triathlon and would love your participation and/or support! The triathlon will benefit the 4th Street Clinic, a clinic that provides free primary health care to the homeless in Salt Lake. 100% of the money earned goes directly to the clinic or toward the cost of putting on the event. The more people involved the better!

For those of you who are nervous about doing a triathlon, don't be! This is a great triathlon to be your first. It is a "sprint" style, which means the distances of the swim, bike, and run are shorter (see below for details). If a whole triathlon just isn't your thing, there are other options as well. You can put a team together so that one person does each section, or you can simply run/walk in the 5K race. The atmosphere is very welcoming and fun-loving, and all are welcome and wanted! However, if you would rather not tackle this awesome physical challenge, your financial support is also encouraged. To register and/or donate please visit http://4thstreettri.blogspot.com.

Don't think you can do a whole Sprint triathlon (300 yard swim or 6 laps, 8 mile MOUNTAIN bike, 5K run)? Do it as a team.

Can't find anyone to be on your team? Run or walk the 5K
