Support research for a cure and take part in an unforgettable triathlon in San Diego!



Team Challenge is offering a triathlon training program! We start training on June 1st for the TriRock San Diego triathlon on September 22, 2013. We are training for both the Sprint and Intermediate distances this year: 500 meter swim, 11 mile bike, 3 mile run (Sprint) or 1500 meter swim, 21 mile bike, 6 mile run (Intermediate). Join us and receive 16 weeks of training with 3 sessions per week, along with clinics on nutrition, gear, safety, technique, fundraising, and more!

In May we will be hosting information meetings throughout the Peninsula. It’s a great way to meet our coach, mentors, and alumni who have fallen in love with the program and are back to do it again.
