KPC Sprint Triathlon set

The KPC sprint-distance triathlon is set for Saturday, July 17 2010, with race-time at 7:30 a.m. at Bixler Lake Park in Kendallville, Noble County, Indiana.

This competitive but shorter sprint-distance race is great for both veteran and novice athletes. The race is staged at shady, beautiful Bixler Lake Park in Kendallville, Indiana, just north of Fort Wayne. The 500 meter lake swim is followed by a just-under 13 mile bike race, and closing with a 5-K cross-country style run. 

The run includes a stretch in and around the authentic windmills of the Mid-America Windmill Museum before a shady and spectator-friendly finish in the park. Two and three person team combos also may race for awards.  Register at www.kpctriathlon.com .

The swim and run are laid-out in a spectator-friendly fashion, and the park setting, includes children’s play equipment to entertain younger spectators. 

Participants will find the area well-suited for a weekend event, with local camping, bed & breakfasts and scenic biking opportunities in state parks and Amish country.

Co-sponsors include KPC Media Group Inc., Kendallville Kiwanis, the City of Kendallville and the Cole Family YMCA.

The registration fee covers all costs, including a one-day USAT membership for those who are not already members of the USA Triathlon association.  There are no additional on-line service fees.
