YMCA Metro North Indoor Triathlon
Annual Indoor Triathlon
Looking for a physical challenge during the long cold winter months? The Torigian Family YMCA and Melrose Family YMCA host an Indoor Triathlon each February at the Torigian branch in Peabody. At this indoor event you will compete for distance during a 10 minute swim in a pool, 30 minute ride on a cycle bike, and 20 minute run on a treadmill. This is a great opportunity for athletes training to compete in an outdoor triathlon later in the year, as well as participants who are looking to test their endurance in this classic combination of sports. All participants registered will receive an exclusive race t-shirt and light refreshments will be provided after the race. Take the challenge with us!
All proceeds from the event will benefit the YMCA of Metro North Annual Campaign. The Annual Fund provides financial assistance to our community members most in need. It ensures that the Y can be there for those who need us most, when they need us most, regardless of their ability to pay. Every dollar raised can help change the course of someone’s life.
The Race
The race will be held at the Torigian Family YMCA, 259 Lynnfield Street in Peabody, MA. Waves of 8 participants each will begin at 2:00pm and start every 15 minutes. At the designated start time, participants will begin with a 10 minute swim in the indoor pool, shift gears and spend the next 30 minutes cycling on one of the bikes, then race towards the finish line with 20 minutes on the treadmill. Participants will be allowed 10 minutes to safely change from pool to cycling and 5 minutes to move from cycling to treadmill.
Scoring
Race volunteers will record the total distance covered during the swim, bike, and run. The more distance covered, the higher your score. Prizes will be given to top finishers.
