From Anne Clelland, an organizer of the New River Valley Triathlon:
Multisport is the umbrella term for athletic events involving two or more sports back-to-back. Triathlon - in which participants swim, bike, and run in succession - is a type of multisport.
Where there's water, there can be a triathlon.
Possible venues for triathlons in the New River Valley of Virginia include:
New River Trails State Park (How about an XTERRA event - swimming across the New River, mountain biking and trail running?)
Radford University Dedmon Center
Virginia Tech War Memorial Hall and McComas Recreational Center
In the New River Valley, community and municipal pools in towns, cities, and counties abound, as do country club pools.
And look at the venues in the region. And in Southwest Virginia.
Where there's water, there can be a triathlon. And an Ironman. And swimming, cycling, mountain biking, kayaking, trail running...
Sounds like the New River Valley has a multisport destiny.
