Indoor Tri
Sat. March 3, 2012!
The UW-L Tri Challenge is moving into its forth year with the Rec Sports Department!  This event provides experienced and beginner multi-sport athletes with an opportunity to put their endurance to the test. Indoor triathlons are unique events that require participants to swim, bike and run for a predetermined amount of time instead of distance. Scores are determined by combining the overall distance one travels during the three legs of the race.

Volunteers needed! If interested, please contact Erin Thacker!
