We will be using Challenge Runner to track your progress through the triathlon.  A link will be sent approximately 1 week before the event begins, to set up your Challenge Runner account. With Challenge Runner you will be able to keep track of your progress, see the progress of everyone else in the triathlon, and earn badges for completing different milestones.

We are operating under the honor system. Challenge Runner is compatible with many fitness devices, including Fit Bit, to track your progress. You can also manually enter your activity into Challenge Runner.

Goody Bag pick-up will be Saturday, May 1, 10:00 am-12:00 pm at the Walnut Sports Basement store (1881 Ygnacio Valley Road) and will include a discount/coupon code. Bags not picked up on May 1 will be available for pick-up at PH Aquatic Park Monday, May 3-Thursday, May 6, 3:30-7pm. 

A special Thank you to Sports Basement Walnut Creek and GoGo squeeZ for their support and donations to our goody bags!
