The Mason Parks & Recreation Foundation will play host to this family friendly race with all proceeds going toward the construction of Common Ground, Mason's inclusive playground. This event is a perfect fit for the newbie wanting to get their feet wet in the sport of triathlon. 2014 saw a record number of athletes participate in the unique format featuring Women's only, Men's only and Kids races, allowing the whole family to participate as well as cheer each other on. The ladies will get things started on race day with the Women's Only Triathlon and Duathlon at 7:30am featuring a 400 meter pool swim or a 5k run, followed by a 20k bike through the beautiful streets of Warren County and Mason, closing with a 5k run in Corwin M. Nixon Park. A Men's Triathlon and Duathlon featuring the same distances starts at 9:00am and a Kids Triathlon will begin at 11:00am. The 5k run and walk will begin at 8:00am.

COMMON GROUND PLAYGROUND

The Mason Parks & Recreation Foundation has been diligently working toward the building of an inclusive playground in Mason, called Common Ground. This playground will be the first of its kind in the area in both size and scope and will meet the needs of children and adults with all mobility, sensory, sight, hearing, and social challenges. All playgrounds are not created equal, and EVERYONE belongs in a unique, engaging and inclusive recreational environment created through COMMON GROUND.

For those who prefer to race one element of the triathlon or duathlon we offer a relay division. Relay teams consist of three (3) members (1 swimmer, 1 biker, 1 runner); each member will complete one segment of the race (2 members for duathlon teams). Each team member will exchange their timing chip bracelet at their assigned bike rack. There are NO age groups in this division.

AWARDS

All finishers will receive a handsome finisher medal.
