The Fifth Annual Circle Triathlon will take place on Sunday, September 2, 2012 beginning at 8:00 a.m. (Labor Day weekend). Hosted once again by Riveredge Marina and Squam River Landing, this year’s race promises to be the best attended ever with over 500 racers expected to compete, while over 150 volunteers and 600 spectators cheer them on.
Three levels of the race ensure that all ages and abilities can join the fun. Triathletes can choose to compete in all three legs of the sprint race (bike, swim, run) as individuals, or may team up with family, friends, or colleagues from work with each member of the team completing one of the legs.
Proceeds from the race will provide financial support and scholarships for girls participating in the Circle Program. Many individual athletes have already begun to fundraise for Circle by accepting pledges of support to sponsor a girl in the Circle Program.
Event Directors Barry Gaw and Martha Macomber organized the Circle Triathlon with the goal of promoting physical fitness and sportsmanship while introducing people to the sport of triathlon. Echoing the long-standing mission of the Circle Program, the Circle Triathlon promotes an opportunity for competitors to demonstrate “…the Skills, Courage, and Confidence to Tri.”
