Additional Notes
For the Duathlon:
This is intended to be a fundraising event - registration fee will cover the cost of the duathlon, however, we want to encourage everyone to seek donations and pledges which will be used for the establishment of an annual scholarship for graduate level research on cancer in the AYA population.
Hold fundraising events - make it creative and tell us about it so we can feature it on our website. Better yet, invite us to come along, we'd love to help out!
Maximum of 100 duathlon entries accepted - this is our first time putting a race together and we want to make sure its well-organized and everybody has a great time!
Please arrive early to check in with Tri NS, pick up timing chips, race numbers and pick your transition spot. Bikes must be racked for the duathlon by 8:45 am!
Transition will be off-limits after 8:45 am.
*Duathlon entrance fee refunds will be available for injured athletes up until September 13th 2015.
THIS EVENT IS SANCTIONED BY TRIATHLON NOVA SCOTIA. YOU AND YOUR RACE DIRECTOR ARE COVERED BY INSURANCE. THIS EVENT IS PART OF THE TNS RACE POINT SERIES. NON-MEMBERS MUST PAY $20 ONE DAY FEE.
For the Champion Fun Run/Walk:
Do you want to be a part of this awesome event but are not quite ready for the duathlon?? We want to encourage everybody to partcipate, raise money and be active! Join the Champion 5km Fun Run/Walk individually or as a team (up to 5 members) on Sept 20th. We'll start it off once all the duathletes finish their first run so that we can cheer them on as they pass through the transition.
The Run/Walk is FREE, however, we encourage everyone to fundraise so we can use the money to establish an annual scholarship for graduate students doing research on the AYA with cancer population.
Hold fundraising events - make it creative and tell us about it so we can feature it on our website. Better yet, invite us to come along, we'd love to help out!
The most important part is to be active and have fun, all while giving back to a great cause! We can't wait to see you at the start line!
