Get Fit 5K & Get Fit Youth TRYathlon

This event is for participants of all ability levels. Participants should make sure to bring all of their equipment to the clinic and triathlon. This will include but is not limited to: 1) swim suit, swim goggles, and 2 towels, 2) bike and bike helmet, 3) running shorts, running t-shirt, hat, sunglasses, 4) dry clothes for after the event, 5) sunscreen, water, and a light snack. Additional refreshments will be provided.

Big Brothers Big Sisters is the nation’s oldest and largest youth mentoring organization. Our mission is to help boys and girls, most of whom are considered at-risk and living in single-parent homes, achieve their full potential through long-term personal relationships with carefully screened and caring volunteers. On average it costs over $600 to match one child in our program. Children that are matched, when compared with those in similar situations who are not matched, as a whole do better in school and at home, and avoid substance abuse at a pivotal time in their lives, when even small changes in behavior or choices made can change the course of their future.
