Wawasee Kiwanis Sprint Triathlon July 30
Press Release
SYRACUSE —The Wawasee Kiwanis Sprint Triathlon will start at 8 a.m., Saturday, July 30, at The Syracuse Community Center, 1013 N. Long Drive, Syracuse.
The sprint triathlon is a USAT-sanctioned event. The event starts with a 0.25-mile swim in Syracuse Lake, followed by a 13.49-mile bike ride and ends with a 3.1-mile run along Northshore Drive.
The entry fee is $55 per individual triathlete and $100 for two- and three-person teams.
Those who register before July 11 will receive a T-shirt.
The packet pickup will take place from 5:30-7:30 p.m., Friday, July 29, or 6-7:30 a.m., Saturday, July 30, at the Syracuse Community Center.
On race day starting at 7:40 a.m., the beach closes and the race director will make important pre-race announcements. At 7:50 a.m. the transition area closes and all athletes must exit the transition area. At 8 a.m., the first swim wave starts.
If you believe you are competing as an overall top-place finisher, there is an option to be included in one of the earlier waves this year. This option is for fast, experienced triathletes who have previously achieved the sprint triathlon times as follows: men, under 1:15:00; women, under 1:30:00.
Please email the race director and send a link or information with your previous race results. This is not an official USAT elite wave. This is simply to allow top contenders the chance to race directly alongside other top contenders, regardless of age. If you decide to be included in this group, you forfeit eligibility for age-group ranking and awards.
All participants will receive a medal at the finish line. Food will be provided to all athletes at the finish line.
All participants must be at least 15 years old to participate in the triathlon.
