| Sprint
Triathlon Fills in 24 Minutes |
| Race registration for the second annual Reston Sprint Triathlon
filled within 24 minutes of its opening Jan. 10. The triathlon
is scheduled for June 1. |
| "We're very excited and humbled by the demand for this event,"
said Doug Bushée, a director of the CORE Foundation. "This
event brings athletes from all over the region to experience
the beauty of Reston. Not just our pools, trails and pathways,
but they see firsthand our community's values as we all work
together to support Reston Interfaith and its mission." |
| The proceeds from the event will again be donated to Reston
Interfaith, a nonprofit that promotes self-sufficiency through
support and advocacy for those in need of food, shelter, affordable
housing, quality childcare and other services. |
| Five-hundred athletes registered to participate in the Sprint
Triathlon. A shorter distance than the Olympic Triathlon distance
held each fall in Reston, the Sprint Triathlon includes 12
miles of biking, a mile swim and a three-mile run. While the
race is now closed, volunteers and sponsors are still needed
to assist with the event. Visit www.restonsprinttri.org. |
