Come try out the mid winter triathlon

The Nipissing Kiwanis Club will host their inaugural winter triathlon at the Nordic Ski Club on Saturday, February 13th at 10:00 a.m.

The event starts with a 5 Km cross country ski, followed by a 1.5 Km snowshoe, and finishing with a 5 Km run out North Shore Road and back.

The skate skiers will go first, followed 5 minutes later by the classic skiers. The event is sanctioned by the Ontario Association of Triathletes.

Registration forms are available at the YMCA, Active Running, Big Woods, Cheapskates and the Nordic Ski Club. Individuals can enter for $20.00 until Wednesday Feb 10th and teams of 2 or 3 will be $30.00 until then.

The event will go ahead, snow or shine. It should take just over an hour for the leaders to get around, while the rest of us should finish in 90 minutes or so.

For more information, or to volunteer to help, please call John Wipprecht at 474-0593 or Mike Burke at 474-0626 ext 2511.
