Hi all,
This Sunday is the New England Kids Triathlon at MIT in Cambridge. This is really a pretty special event and will have close to 1,000 kids participating... many of them doing their first tri. We have a goal to recruit 200 volunteers and we still have a ways to go so if anyone is available and interested in helping please consider registering as a volunteer. Here's the link for more info and to register: www.newenglandkidstriathlon.org/volunteers.html
Watching these kids swim, bike and run around is just so much fun... some of them are smiling, some have a determined "game face" and some are struggling, but they all finish and they all come away with a great sense of accomplishment. And ice cream! The New England Patriots are big sponsors so cheerleaders, Pat Patriot, players and "The NFL Experience" inflatables will all be there, too. Plus, the kids get to run through the big inflatable Patriot helmet as they come onto the track to run the last .20 mile of the race. Cool stuff.
The Kids Tri isn't a Sun Multisport Events, but I'm co-Race Director. Brian Dwyer is returning as Bike Coordinator and Pat's on board to help out, too, so we already have a good base of Infinitri members helping out... join us!
