|
On June 5th, 2021, the Hopkins Royal Triathlon will once again be offering a fun event to promote multi-sport activities in our state. It will feature an open water (swim only) competition, with 3 different swim distances to choose from. Plus, we will be inviting event Directors from all over the state to come out to let you know about their events. As an extra bonus, we will also be hosting a gear swap meet (aka: garage sale) so start putting things aside now!
NEED A LITTLE MORE INCENTIVE? Many race directors have donated free entries into their events for our door prizes!!
ACTIVITIES:
Swim Event- option of .3 mile (Sprint), 1.5K/.9 mile (Olympic), or a 1.2 mile (Half IM) distance
Race Director Expo- come learn (from representatives) what events and activities are happening this summer
Swap Meet- bring any gear (bikes, parts, clothing, etc.) you want to sell or come see what what hidden gems you might find
SCHEDULE:

NOTES:
1. The lake could be a little chilly (lower 60s??),
so wet suits are recommended (but NOT required)

2. We will have plenty of lifeguards, kayaks, and boats on hand, but NOT "swim angels" (they want to swim too!)
