Active Southern West Virginia Family Triathlon

Participants can compete as an individual or as a team. If you are competing as a team; one person can register many people at once (a family) or one person can register and create the team (group of friends). The other members of that group of friends team can register by joining that team. *You must select your team at the time of registration so the timing can be organized.
 
All members of the team need to complete each leg. This is not a relay. Racers will have a 1.2 mile run, 2 mile bicycle ride, and a 1 mile paddle leaving and returning from the beach. There are hills to climb and gravel roads. Participants are to bring all their own equipment and the course is appropriate for ages 9 and up.
