Imagine a chilly January morning, where the thrill of competition warms the air more than the sun could ever hope to. The Greater Scranton YMCA is buzzing with excitement, gearing up to host the "Y Not Tri 2025 Indoor Triathlon" on January 26th. This isn't just any triathlon; it's a beacon of community spirit and athletic endeavor, supporting the vital Aquatics Department and Swim Team.
This event is a call to action for anyone aged 10 and above, regardless of their fitness level. Picture the scene: participants diving into the challenge with a 10-minute swim, transitioning to a 20-minute bike ride, and pushing their limits with a 20-minute run. It's not just about how fast you can go but how far you can push yourself, as the race results are scored based on the total distance covered in each segment.
The beauty of this event lies in its inclusivity and the celebration of personal achievements. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or a first-timer, every meter you cover adds to your story and supports a great cause. The participant who covers the most ground will be crowned the triathlon champion, with age group winners also receiving recognition for their efforts.
For those eager to be part of this inspiring day, early registration comes with perks—a T-shirt to commemorate your participation. The first wave of the triathlon kicks off bright and early at 7 a.m., with a registration fee of $25 for YMCA members and $35 for non-members.
