The TRI to Find a Cure indoor triathlon, sponsored by JCC’s Total Fitness program and cheerleading team, will be held in the Physical Education Complex on the Jamestown Campus on November 21.

A portion of the proceeds from the event will benefit the Center for Imaging at WCA Hospital, which has been designated as a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence.

“Indoor triathlons are a great way to start before trying the race outside,” said Diane Ringer, JCC’s cheerleading coach and an organizer of the November 21 event. “For experienced triathletes, it can be an easy way to cross train or to stay motivated during the winter months. The benefit of indoor triathlons is that it connects people to the sport in a controlled environment.”

The registration deadline is November 18. For more information or to register, contact Ms. Ringer at 716.792.9930 or Diane_Ringer@msn.com.

Waves of four will begin competing at 9 a.m. Subsequent waves will start every 20 minutes. Triathlon components will include 10 minutes in the JCC pool followed by a 10-minute transition period. Triathletes will then ride a stationary or recumbent bike for 30 minutes followed by a five-minute transition period. The final leg of the event consists of running the indoor track for 20 minutes.

The $25 registration fee includes a commemorative T-shirt and water bottle which are made possible by a donation from Don Nash and Diane Mathews of Patients Pharmacy, Inc. of Jamestown and Dr. Andre Persaud of G&P Gynecare of Jamestown and Dunkirk.

Refreshments will be provided by Petri Baking Products, Culligan Water, and Welch Foods. Information about breast cancer and related services will be available. A six-month JCC Total Fitness membership will be given away.

First place awards will be presented to the overall male and female triathletes and to male and female age group winners. Age groups will include 19 and under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70+.
