Pre-Race Clinic - $5.00
Saturday, May 11th - 11:00AM at Hidden Cove Park (meet in parking lot)
Playtri's Lead Developmental Coach, Morgan Johnson, will join participants and their parents for a pre-race clinic at the race site two weeks before race day. Participants will get to ride and run the course, review the swim, practice transitioning quickly and easily, and of course parents and participants will all have the opportunity to ask lots of questions! Hope to see you there!
Participants should bring bike, helmet, running shoes, and a water bottle. Parents are also encouraged to bring bikes and helmets to join us in riding the course as an added safety measure for participants.
For more information about the clinic, please email Coach Morgan at morgan@playtri.com. No RSVP necessary.
