Cranberry Trifest offers a terrific weekend of racing including a sprint distance triathlon, a kids duathlon and the "classic" olympic distance triathlon which has been selected as the 2010 USAT Northeast Regional Club Championship. The sprint will be on Saturday, August 28, 2010 and will consist of a 0.5 mile swim, a 12 mile bike, and a 3.1 mile run starting at 8:00AM. The kids duathlon will be a 1km run-2km bike-1km run and will follow the sprint at 12:00PM. The olympic distance triathlon (0.8 mile swim/24.9 mile bike/6.2 mile run) will be on Sunday, August 29, 2010 starting at 8:00AM.
Cranberry Trifest promises you safe and scenic races and a festive atmosphere with a DJ, valuable giveaways, post-race refreshments after each race and a venue that lets you sit back with friends as the 2010 multisport season nears a close. This year we'll also be crowning the inaugural King and Queen of Cranberry (details on the "Event Details" page). If you've got kids its a great venue for bringing them... when the rest of the family isn't cheering on Mom or Dad, they can enjoy the playground, toss a ball or frisbee around on the baseball fields, or practice their "ollie" at the skateboard park. Or they can do the kids duathlon!
