Fall is the perfect time for outdoor activities and when it’s for a good cause, you can’t beat it! Get out and about to raise money for the Volunteer West Bradford Fire Company at their 39th Annual Marshalton Triathlon on Sunday October 7.
The triathlon will take place in the quaint village of Marshalton on Route 162/Strasburg Road, just four miles west of West Chester. It will start and finish in front of the West Bradford Fire House and the Marshalton Inn. Racers will travel a total of 10 miles over the entire course.
The first leg kicks off with a 2.3 mile bike ride, then racers will hop in a canoe and paddle 3 miles – two-person canoes require a partner! Next the triathlon will have racers on their feet with a 2.4 mile fast walk (disqualification if running during the race) and it all wraps up with a 2.3 mile return bike race.
The race starts at 8a.m. on October 7th, 2012 and heats of 36 racers will start every six minutes. Registration is $30 per person plus a $5 registration fee. Feel free to scope out more information and register at http://www.
