Annual LG Tri at Eagle Saturday

EAGLE — The eighth annual LG Tri Sprint Triathlon will be held at the Eagle Pool & Ice Rink on Saturday starting at 7 a.m. The fourth annual LG Kids’ Tri will take place at the same location at 10 a.m. For more information or to register online go to http://www.lgtri.com.

The triathlon includes a 500-yard swim, which is equivalent to 10 laps in the Eagle Pool, a 12-mile bike loop along Brush Creek Road and a 5K run in Eagle Ranch. Participants can sign up as individuals or members of a team. An award ceremony with prizes from many local companies and silent auction, including items such as a Vail Resorts kid’s ski lesson, hotel stays, dining gift certificates, Colorado Rockies tickets and more, will follow the race. Everyone who participates should go home with a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment, and, of course, an event goodie bag.
