Tri for a Cure!
August 9, 2008
Greetings Athletes, Sponsors, Families, and Spectators!
We are proud to announce the First Annual Tri for a Cure, an All-Womens Triathlon in the State of Maine, on August 9, 2008! We have been working along with our wonderful committee of volunteers to put together what we think will be one of the most spectacular women?s events in New England.
The Tri for a Cure will be a sprint triathlon taking place on the beautiful oceanfront campus of Southern Maine Community College in South Portland, Maine.
The transition will be just steps from the beach with the City of Portland as the backdrop. The 1/3 mile ocean swim will be in the shadows of Spring Point Head Light. The 12 mile bike loop will take you through rural portions of South Portland and Cape Elizabeth. The 3 mile run will go along the marina from Spring Point Head Light to Bug Head Light, head back towards campus to meet up with a stunning oceanfront path that will lead you to a spectacular finish back at the transition.
Tri for a Cure will be a fundraiser to benefit the Maine Cancer Foundation. One hundred percent of the money raised by Tri for a Cure will stay in Maine to fund cancer research and patient support programs. Though this is an all woman event, we are funding research for all cancers. Athletes are encouraged to raise additional funds for this event through our registration system. Each athlete will have their own web page and have the ability to raise money in honor or memory of a family member, friend, or loved one.
