INAUGURAL DALTON CRA INDOOR TRIATHLON SCHEDULED SATURDAY, NOV. 9
DALTON – The inaugural Dalton Community Recreation Association Indoor Triathlon will be conducted Saturday, November 9, beginning at 3 p.m. The event, which features 15-minute swimming, spin bike, and treadmill segments, is limited to the first 21 participants to register.

Participants will proceed through the triathlon in waves of three, with a new wave starting every 20 minutes. The event is based on distance rather than time, so participants receive points for going farther during the fixed 15-minute timeframe rather than going faster over a fixed distance. In a full field of 21 participants, the individual traveling the farthest in each leg of the event will receive 21 points and the individual traveling the shortest distance will receive 1 point. Final standings will be based on point totals from all three segments.
The triathlon will begin in the pool, followed by a 10-minute transition period to the spin bike. After the bike, participants will have a 5-minute transition to the treadmill segment.

The registration fee is $20 for Dalton CRA members and $25 for non-members. To register or learn more, contact the Dalton Community Recreation Association at (413) 684-0260 or visit www.daltoncra.org.
