The annual Greencastle High School (GHS) Outdoor Triathlon is just around the corner, and organizers are appealing for donations to help make the event a success and support the GHS girl soccer players. Now in its fourth year, the triathlon promises to be an exhilarating test of endurance and athleticism for participants and a great opportunity to rally community support.
Scheduled for July 29, the triathlon will kick off at 8 am at the picturesque Greencastle Aquatic Center, located in Robe-Ann Park. Athletes from the local community and beyond will gather to swim, bike, and run their way to the finish line, showcasing their physical prowess and determination.
Participants can choose between two different sprint categories: the Purple Sprint and the Silver Sprint. The Purple Sprint challenges athletes to complete a 200-meter swim, a 4-mile bike ride, and a 1-mile run or walk. For those seeking a greater challenge, the Silver Sprint awaits, with a 400-meter swim, an 8-mile bike ride, and a 2-mile run or walk.
To ensure the success of the event and provide the participants with an unforgettable experience, organizers are seeking donations to cover various expenses. These contributions will go toward insurance fees, participation shirts, medals, and nutrition at the end of the triathlon. Additionally, the funds raised will directly benefit the GHS girl soccer players, helping to fulfill their needs such as providing meals for away games, purchasing socks, creating senior banners, and more.
For those interested in supporting the cause, donations can be made conveniently online by visiting the official triathlon website at https://runsignup.com/Race/Donate/Greencastle/GMSTriforSoccer. Every contribution, no matter the amount, will make a meaningful impact on the lives of the young athletes.
