A field of 500-plus triathletes are expected to participate in the Tri for Real triathlon event this Sunday at Shadow Cliffs Regional Park in Pleasanton.
The Tri for Real event is the capstone of this summer’s 27th annual Tri for Fun triathlon series, which also featured three non-competitive, shorter-length triathlons.
“We have made so many wonderful friends through the years because of the Tri For Fun,” said Mark Aiton, co-principal of organizer On Your Mark Events. “There are now literally thousands of people who cut their triathlon teeth with the Tri For Fun, and they keep coming back as well as take part in our other longer-distance triathlons.”
Sunday’s timed event, which will offer ribbons and trophies to top finishers in gender and age groups, will feature a 700-yard swim, 19-mile bicycle ride and four-mile trail run.
Entry fee is $75 in advance and $85 on race day. Participants will receive a commemorative T-shirt, snacks and beverages, and they can take part in the awards ceremony and raffle.
Trophies will go to overall male/female and masters (45 years and older) top finishers. Medals will be awarded to the Top 3 in age groups: 13 years old and younger, 14-18, 19-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, and 70 and older.
For each race, check-in and registration will begin at 5 a.m., with the first wave hitting the water at 7 a.m. To register, call 209-795-7832 or visit www.onyourmarkevents.com.
