Triathletes taking to the streets (and pool) in Bluffton
The first Be A Beaver Triathlon is set for Saturday (May 31) in Bluffton.
Beginning at 8 a.m. at the Bluffton Community Swimming Pool, the event will include a 400-meter pool swim, a 20-kilometer bike on nearby country roads and a 5K run through village streets and the Bluffton University Nature Preserve.
Sponsoring the triathlon are CenturyLink, a Fortune 500 telecommunications firm; Shirley’s Gourmet Popcorn Co. of Bluffton; and Muddy River Bicycle Co. of Findlay. Community partners are the village of Bluffton and the community pool.
Proceeds will help the university’s cross country and track and field teams cover their costs to attend out-of-state invitational meets.
