Triathlon on MHCC campus Memorial Day

An estimated 400 athletes will take over the MHCC campus on Monday, Memorial Day, for the Mt. Hood Sprint Triathlon.

This is a partnership by MHCC Aquatic Center, ASG, student clubs and Series 33 Triathlon.

The competition kicks off at 7:30 a.m. with an 875-yard swim in the outdoor pool, followed by a 13.3 mile-bike race and a 5k run on and around campus, on closed streets, finishing outside the Aquatic Center.

Revenues from registration fees will be shared among the partners, and a portion will be donated to a fund for underprivileged MHCC students.

The $60 registration is available through Saturday at: https://www.athletepath.com/mt-hood-sprint-triathlon/2013-05-27.

A USA Triathlon license is required; a one-day $12 license is available.

There is an urgent need for volunteers. If interested, contact Ken McLarty, the race director, at 503-789-8655.
