2nd Annual DKH Give it a TRI!
On August 25, 2012, Day Kimball Healthcare will be holding the 2nd Annual DKH Give it a TRI! After seeing huge success last year, event will again feature local athletes taking place in a half-mile swim, 12 mile bike ride and 3.1 mile run all while promoting fitness and health in our community.
Athletes can take part by joining a relay team or by competing individually but be sure to note that the event will sell-out at 500 participants so registering early is recommended.
The FIRM will be managing timing and logistics for the race and all proceeds from the triathlon will benefit education, equipment and programs for patients at the DKH Plainfield Healthcare Complex.
Important Parking and Registration Information:
- Athletes may be dropped off with their gear at Moosup Pond but all spectators are asked to park at Plainfield High School and take the provided shuttle busses back to the pond.
- Athletes arriving alone will be allowed to park short term to unload their gear but will then be asked to move their car to Plainfield High School and use the shuttle busses. Athletes may also choose to ride their bikes from Plainfield High School to Moosup Pond which is a distance of about three mile.
- The transition area and race packet pick-up opens at 6:15 AM, arriving early is recommended to avoid last minute rushing.
- There will be refreshments available at the tri as well as bike services and energy foods for athletes.
- Directions from Moosup Pond to Plainfield High School: From Moosup Pond take first left onto Putnam Road. Plainfield High is 87 Putnam Road. If you reach E. Shepard Hill Road you've gone too far.
Tips to Remember when Registering:
- When registering two person relay teams be sure to enter one of the racers information twice. In the USAT # field, enter "same as racer 1 or 2" so that race directors have a clear indication of which racer is participating in each event.
- Each cyclist is required to wear a helmet.
- You must be 13 years or older to register.
