Terry Fox Triathlon brings all ages together

Sep 21, 2014 | 4:37 PM

The Tri for Terry Mini Triathlon has been running since 1990, but it’s still getting attention. 

This year around a dozen members of the Prince Albert Triathlon Club, including three new members, joined in the event to raise money for cancer research. The triathlon started at the Frank J. Dunn pool in Prince Albert. 

President of the Prince Albert triathlon Club, Mark Nagy said the Terry Fox Triathlon is in memory of Greg Sylvester, who was one of the major organizers of the triathlon as well as the Terry Fox Run. When Sylvester passed away the name of the triathlon changed to the Greg Sylvester Memorial Triathlon for Terry Fox. 

Participants who decided to take part did a 300 meter swim at the Frank J. Dunn pool, 15 kilometer bike ride on the Birch Hills Highway, and a five kilometer run down Rotary Trail.

Carmen Doyle has been a part of the club for two years now and has participated in the triathlon twice.

“It’s just a fun experience, everybody is here to have fun, it’s just a great way to spend the morning,” said Doyle.

Nagy said they have similar events three times a year, including Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and the Terry Fox weekend. He encourages anyone to join the club, which currently has around 30 members. 

All the money raised during today’s event goes right to cancer research for the Terry Fox foundation.
