Triathlon: Western's "Icebreaker" Triathlon Championship, Open to Public Participation

On Saturday March 25th the University of Western Ontario's Triathlon Club will be hosting the Ontario University Triathlon Championships.

University triathlon clubs in the province are unique in that they encourage community involvement. The Icebreaker Triathlon is no exception to that. Triathlon encourages participation from individuals from a wide age group and athletic background. "We have athletes who compete at a very high level and those who have just entered the sport and will be competing in their first race" said Chris Taplin president of the Western Club. Agata Lawrynczyk, the race's registrar said "We'd love to have anyone in the community who would like to give triathlon a try to come out and participate."

There are 3 race options        
Sprint: 800 yard Swim, 16km Bike, 5km Run -$40
Sprint Relay- $20/Person, 2-3 people
Try a Tri: 400 yard Swim, 8km Bike, 2.5km Run -$35

Note: The swim portion of the race will be in the pool in Thames Hall
