Dubois County Youth Triathlon adds team relay event

Another new event has been added to the annual Dubois County Youth Triathlon.

Get with your friends and create a three-person relay team to participate in the 2016 Dubois County Youth Triathlon. This exciting opportunity is available to anyone interested over the age of 6.

The team relay will consist of three people per team; one swimmer, one cyclist, and one runner. The team may be comprised of all girls, all boys, or coed. The distances are determined by the oldest participant on the team. Awards will also be determined by the age of the oldest participant on the team as of December 31, 2016.

The events are set to take place Saturday, July 23rd at Huntingburg City Park in Huntingburg, Indiana starting at 9:00am (EST). Participants competing in the triathlon and team relay events will begin with a swim at the Huntingburg City Pool, followed by the bike ride taking the participant on one or two city streets that will be completely closed for the duration of the event.

After biking, the run will take place around the Huntingburg City Park on grass, blacktop, and dirt paths, finishing inside Historic League Stadium.

The Duathlon event will use the same course layout as the Triathlon except that participants will begin with a run around the City Park, followed by a bike ride, and finish with a final run around the City Park. Distances for each leg are determined by the age of the participant.

Costs for the events are:

Registered by June 24: Triathlon/Duathlon: $20, Team Relay: $15 per person

Each additional Sibling (by June 24): For all events: $15

Registered June 25 – Race Day (no discount for siblings): Triathlon/Duathlon: $30, Team Relay: $25
