Ride, Run, Give (and Swim)

Miles for Haiti will be held on Wednesday, July 4, 2018 and offers three fun and challenging events for athletes of any ability. Check in and day of registration is open 6:15am - 7:00am. The Triathlon will start at approximately 7:15 after a brief message about the ongoing work in Haiti, event instructions and the traditional singing of the National Anthem. This event includes a 400m lake swim, 14 mile bike route, and 5k run. You can choose the triathlon, biathlon (bike and run) or mix and match any of the three events. Feel free to bring some friends for a relay team if you would like. There will will be an abbreviated course for younger athletes. The abbreviated distances are 75 yard swim, 6 mile bike, and 1.5 mile run. There are events for all ages so you can bring the whole family. You don't have to be an exceptional athlete to participate. We want to encourage participants of all skill levels to just have fun, challenge themselves and enjoy the great outdoors with friends and family. All events are non-timed and no one should feel intimidated to participate!
