The Holliston Lions Club is sponsoring the 22nd Annual Triathlon on Sunday, June 26th at Stoddard Park.

It is still a swim, bike and run event, but a shorter version. Join the competition, or just come to Stoddard Park and observe the racers.

The Holliston Lions Club will host the 22nd Annual Triathlon at Stoddard Park on Sunday, July 26th, starting at 8:00 AM. It is a swim, bike and run race, but a new shorter version. The swim is now 1/4 of a mile; last year it was a 1/2 mile . The bike route was 15 miles; this year it will be 10 miles. The five-mile run has been reduced to three miles. 

The swimmers will enter the water at Stoddard Park Beach at 8:00 for the first leg of the Triathlon.

After the swim, the competitors ready for the bike segment of the Triathlon.

The bikers have a ten-mile ride on the road

After the ten-mile bike ride, the final phase is the run, three miles this year.

The goal is the finish line back at Stoddard Park, where the electronic chips worn by the racers record the total time elaspsed since the eight o'clock swim,

It is not too late to register for the race, which is geared more to the novice this year with the reduced mileage. It is fun and doable.  Consider joining in.  Sign up at Stoddard Park at 7 am on Sunday.
