Second

annual Sprint Triathlon to take place in PTC on Saturday

The second annual Peachtree City Tri-PTC Sprint Triathlon will take

place this Saturday. There will be 500 participants in age groups from

14 and under to 80 and over, as well as the USA Triathlon Regional Championship

for U23 (ages 20-23) and Junior (ages 16-19) triathletes from the Southeast.

Registration is closed for both these races, but early risers will be

able to witness a fantastic race. While many of the participants are

from Fayette County, some athletes are coming in from as far away as

Michigan, New York, Iowa and California.

Participants will swim .3 miles, bike 12 miles and then complete a 5K

run. The race will start on the beach of Lake Peachtree and will take

racers all around Peachtree City before ending at City Hall. The U23/Junior

race begins at 7:10 a.m. and the age group races begin at 7:30 a.m. An

awards ceremony will follow at 9:45 a.m. The top three finsihers in each

age group will receive a custom-made Tri-PTC award.

Course maps and more information is available at www.tri-ptc.com. Organizers

are still seeking volunteers to help with the race. Volunteers will receive

a coveted Tri-PTC volunteer t-shirt and an invite to the volunteers only

post-party. E-mail volunteer coordinator Bob Trombly at [email protected]

for more information.
