Registrations still accepted for Willow Creek Triathlon

BRADFORD, Pa. - There is still time to sign up to take part in the Willow Creek Triathlon.

The triathlon, celebrating its 10th year, will be held Saturday, Aug. 1. Proceeds from the event benefit the Disabled American Veterans of McKean and Warren counties. Over the past decade more than $150,000 has been donated to these two agencies.

To register, log onto score-this.com or willowcreektriathlon.org.

Registrations made by July 18 are $40 for individuals and $80 for a team.                                 

After that, the fee is $50 for individuals and $90 for teams.

The race starts with a 300-yard swim in Quaker Lake in Allegany State Park in New York State followed by a 15-mile bicycle ride to the Corydon Hotel. The last leg of the triathlon is a three-mile run to the Willows Restaurant.

Participants may also do a duathlon which eliminates the swim.
