Upper Main Line YMCA Triathlon

Sunday, April 29, 2012

Registration is open now!

This fourth annual event is a fundraiser for the YMCA's Changing Lives Annual Support campaign. In 2011, more than $30,000 was raised to ensure that the YMCA is available to those who need it the most.

The Course

Swim is 450 meters in a heated outdoor 50 meter pool, 10 mile bike through the rolling hills of Easttown Township, Chester County and a challenging 5k run. This race is ideal for the novice or first time athlete or the seasoned vet looking for a pre-season tune-up. This event can be done in team relay form, with each person taking a different leg of the race.

Event Timing

This event will be timed by Lin-Mark Sports of Mantua, NJ using the disposable Tri-tag from ChronoTrack , the world's most advanced timing system. The Tri-Tag is an all-weather option that is better suited for the logistics and pace of today's style of events. ChronoTrack Systems Tri-Tag is a disposable RFID tag that participants place on an ankle band to record their time.  The Tri-tag is easy to attach and is far lighter and less intrusive than other timing tags and chips. Once the Tri-tag is attached to your ankle, you will quickly forget that it is even there! Athletes have the option of using their own ankle band instead of the ankle band given to each participant.

See you in April!
