From TriAdventure Multisport Coaching & Fitness:
TriAdventure Multisport Coaching & Fitness, the area's leading multisport coaching company, recently announced the launch of the TriAdventure Summer Sprint Triathlon. This new event, to be held in Southwest Virginia's beautiful New River Valley, will be part of Set Up Events' Virginia Triathlon Series. The date for the event is Sunday, June 26, 2011.
Christiansburg, Virginia is an ideal location for this event featuring a course that is scenic, fast and safe. The event will begin, transition and end at the new, state-of-the-art Christiansburg Aquatic Center.
Swimmers will navigate a 400-yard snake-swim before taking on the out-and-back, relatively flat, 12.5 mile bike course. The race will end with a fast 5K run along Depot Street in Christiansburg.
The TriAdventure Summer Sprint will join Set Up Events' established state-wide portfolio of 20-plus endurance events which include Angels Race in Lynchburg, the Smith Mountain Lake Sprint and Bath County's Lake Moomaw Triathlon.
"Working with a first-class company like Set Up to host the new TriAdventure Summer Sprint fits perfectly with the mission of TriAdventure Multisport Coaching," said Anne Jones Thompson, founder of TriAdventure Multisport. Part of the proceeds from the race will be donated to Fitness In Action, a non-profit company formed to help underprivileged youth in the New River Valley train for and complete a triathlon.
The Inaugural TriAdventure Summer Sprint will take place on Sunday, June 26, 2011 at 7:00 a.m., at the Christiansburg Aquatic Center, in Christiansburg, VA. The public is invited to watch the race and cheer on the competitors.
