Fairmont Ronald McDonald House Triathlon

Following a successful comeback in 2007, the City of Fairmont will proudly host the 9th (non-consecutive) Fairmont Triathlon. First held in 1983 the Fairmont Triathlon was one of Minnesota ’s original multisport events. Located in Southern Minnesota, Fairmont offers a great venue with 5 lakes and wide country roads close to the transition area. This event will take place at Gomsrud Park on Father’s Day, Sunday, June 15, 2008. In keeping with the spirit of the day, the event is designed to be family friendly. In addition to Sprint and Olympic courses, there is a Mini Triathlon for youth (and the uninitiated). The location includes two beaches, a swimming area, playgrounds, picnic area and sand volleyball courts. The Sprint and Olympic competitions include both relay (team) and individual classes. Registration is limited to 400 participants. Register online at the Midwest Events website.
