The Vail Valley Charitable Fund is pleased to announce that the 13^th annual LG Sprint Tri will take place on July 10^th, 2021 at the Eagle Pool and Ice Rink. The celebration kicks off on Friday, July 9^th with registration, music, food, beverages, a silent auction preview and non-competitive mountain bike ride.

Never thought about participating in a triathlon? Well, if you can swim, bike or run, you can TRI either individually or on a team! This year bring your kids and encourage them to TRI too. This event is open to all ages and abilities.

The ages 14 and up triathlon includes a 500-meter swim (10 laps in the Eagle Pool), a 12-mile bike loop along Brush Creek Road and a 5K run through Eagle Ranch. Participants can sign up as individuals or members of a team, and at the conclusion of the race enjoy an award ceremony with prizes from several local organizations. Additionally, there will be an amazing silent auction that boasts items from Vail Resorts EpicPromise (including a 2022-23 Epic Pass, lodging, dining and spa gift certificates), as well as vouchers to local bars, restaurants and salons, retail items and so much more. Everyone who participates should go home with a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment, and of course an event t-shirt and water bottle!

The LG Kid’s Tri will include three age groups: 6-7, 8-10, and 11-13. The 6-7 year-old age group will experience a 25-yd swim (1/2 lap in the pool), 1-mile bike ride and a 0.5-mile run; the 8-10 year olds will have a 50-yd swim (1 lap in the pool), 3.2-mile bike ride and a 0.75-mile run; and last but certainly not least, the 11-13 year old age group will enjoy a 100-yd swim (2 laps in the pool), 5-mile bike ride and 1-mile run.

Registration is open online now. Go to www.lgtri.com to register.  

This event is held in memory of a long-time local and Vail Valley Charitable Fund beneficiary, Laura Genelin, who lost her battle to cancer in July 2008. Proceeds from the LG Tri will benefit the Vail Valley Charitable Fund, a local non-profit helping community members facing medical crisis since 1996.
