The Karen Stevens Memorial Kid's Triathlon was created in memory of Karen Stevens, a treasured member of the SPCC Aquatics family.

 

            Karen was a swim instructor at SPCC Aquatics, accomplished at teaching students of all ages and ability levels. Karen was practically gifted at teaching those with special needs because of her kind and patient nature. During her years at SPCC, she taught many children how to be safe and enjoy the water. Karen was an exceptionally dedicated, patient and qualified instructor. Sadly Karen passed away in November 2009 after a yearlong battle with cancer.

Please make checks to SPCC. The amount has been adjusted for teams versus individual participation to reflect the reduced pool and award expense.  The amount also covers expenses related to t-shirts and food.

---

 

Relays: Consist of 2 or 3 people. Each leg needs to be completed by the person who started the leg. There can be one person for one leg and another for two or a total of three people each doing one leg. Each person needs to complete a separate registration form to participate.  

 

Timing: We encourage everyone to enjoy their experience of a recreational triathlon.  The swim, run, and transition times (the time between each leg of the event) will count towards your overall triathlon time. Times will not count for the bike leg because no one is permitted to exceed the speed limit of 15 mph. No participant will be advantaged or disadvantaged by the bike “ride”.  There will be designated pathways roped off to direct you to the next leg of the triathlon. Please stay in the path for your safety and obey all B&A Trail regulation including the 15 mph speed limit; failure to do so will result in disqualification.

 

T-shirt Design Competition

Details to be announced.

 

The design team will pick the top three designs. The winning design will be chosen by the participants. The winning t-shirt design will become the 2013 t-shirt design. Good luck and start designing.
