RECREATIONAL AND FITNESS CENTERS TRIATHLON RELAY TEAM CHALLENGE CUP

Over the years, thousands of triathletes and duathletes have trained in Victoria's local recreational and fitness centers, receiving numerous training tips, personal encouragement and creating lasting friendships. The Self-Transcendence Triathlon has established the Recreation and Fitness Centres Challenge Cup as a part of the annual race as our way of acknowledging their valuable contribution to the sport.

Each facility may enter up to 2 teams.
Each team shall have a minimum of 2 competitors, any combination of male or female.
It is preferable that teams consist of personnel working at the recreational or fitness center. However, colleagues working for the municipality (e.g. City Hall, CRD Parks, public works, etc.) may also be included on the team, if necessary.
The overall winning team will be presented with the Challenge Cup. This is a perpetual trophy that the team will return to the triathlon organizers in June 2013.
Teams interested in this category should first contact Ian Phillips ([email protected], phone 250 474-1491).
As special guests of our Team, the entry fee for each Recreation and Fitness Centre team is a flat fee of $75.00. This fee is to cover basic costs such as the insurance and cost of medals for this category.
The teams must be entered no later than July 17, 2013. Each team must submit their entry forms together by mail.
