Albany Strollers & Rollers is excited to announce our sponsorship of the Albany Community Triathlon. AS&R is lending the bike racks we use for bicycle valet parking to the triathlon for the race transition area and we are also putting goodies in the swag bags of all participants and volunteers. Other sponsors include Albany Lions Club, the Albany Community Foundation, REI, Blue Heron Bikes, Albany Ford/Suburu and Transports.

Come join the action and the fun!

Join us at the Albany Community Triathlon, where we prioritize fitness and fun through a challenging course featuring a 400m swim, 10k cycle, and 3k run. Dive into the Albany Aquatic Center and navigate the streets around Memorial Park to test your cycling, running, and swimming skills in a laid-back atmosphere. Registrants will get a t-shirt, water bottle and a useful REI Coupon while supplies last! Don’t miss this opportunity to contribute to AHS sports teams while enjoying a rewarding triathlon experience. Curious about taking your passion further? Learn more on how to earn your triathlon coach certification and enhance your expertise in the sport!

All proceeds will go to the Albany High School Athletic Department to benefit all teams.  In addition to the fund raising, this event focuses on fitness and fun.  If you have always wanted to participate in a triathlon, but felt intimidated at the prospect, this is the one for you.
New for 2013 – take part in the FAMILY HEAT!
Parents, kids, spouses: When you register, you can indicate your desire to be in the same wave as one or more family members. Then you can compete together & keep an eye on each other during the race (but not assist each other, per triathlon rules).
The race begins at 8 am, and starts in waves.
For more information about the Albany Triathlon and to register, please see the web site, www.albanytri.com.  This is a great community event and really fun to watch even if you don’t want to participate!
Come on down, have fun and support Albany High School sports!!
