2015 Mini Tri & Kids Tri Results 

Festivities got underway at 8 a.m., starting with the adult race (ages 12 and up), which included a 200-yard swim, a 10-mile bike ride and a two-mile run or walk. The kids races kicked off shortly after the adult race, with two divisions: Ages 6-7 and Ages 8-11. Participants, ages 6-7, completed a 25-yard swim, a one-mile bike ride and a half-mile run. Participants, ages 8-11, completed a 75-yard swim, a two-mile bike ride and a one-mile run.

The swimming portions of both races were held at the C.W. Avery Family YMCA lap pool, and the running portions were be completed outside on the YMCA grounds. The biking portion of the adult race was held outdoors on stationary bikes. All kids race participants rode their bicycles on a closed course.

The Y is looking for volunteers to help plan its ninth annual Giving Gala, which is slated for Saturday, February 27, 2016 at the Bolingbrook Golf Club. Proceeds from this annual event benefit the Y’s scholarship fund, helping to ensure that no one is turned away from the Y due to the inability to pay.

Community volunteers are needed to help with sponsor solicitation and planning our silent and live auctions. The planning committee meets monthly.
