EAC to host youth triathlon

THATCHER — Billing itself as “continuing the Jim Brinkerhoff youth triathlon tradition,” Eastern Arizona College announced it will host a triathlon in April.

The Gila Hank Youth Sprint Triathlon will take place at the school’s Thatcher campus Saturday, April 9, starting at 7 a.m.

Youths 11-17 can participate as an individual or as part of a relay team. Cost is $35 for an individual and $15 per person as part of a team.

The sprint triathlon will include a 75-yard swim in the college’s pool, followed by a 6-mile bicycle ride following a path that starts on College Avenue, finished by a 1.5 mile run through the campus. Finish will be at the school’s clock tower.

Participants will receive a T-shirt and race medal, and may also take part in a dance in the Hoopes Activity Center the Friday night before the race, from 6-9 p.m.
