Partnering together, TriYouthalon®
and Philadelphia Parks & Recreation are excited to host the 6th
Annual Fairmount Park Family Triathlon & Duathlon. This exciting
event takes place in a beautiful park and is designed for the whole
family!
Train with your Parents, Grandparents, Aunts/Uncles, cousins... and then come and race together.
The
race is a challenge for kids of all abilities, adults entering the
triathlon sport, seniors racing in the Philadelphia Games and families
looking for a good race everyone can participate in.
This is a great excuse to wake-up early and a good incentive to train with someone special!
