Grinnell Games may look a little different to many of you this year. After listening to much community feedback and weighing all sorts of options, we have made the decision to split the events over the course of a few different weekends, and we're kicking things off on Saturday, April 14 with the Sprint Triathlon, a Grinnell Games event which will be USA Triathlon sanctioned. We're hoping to more than double our numbers from this event last year - can you help us reach our goal? We'd love to have you give it a tri!
This particular event will feature a 0.5 mile swim at the Grinnell College Natatorium, 12.4 mile bike on the path to Rock Creek State Park and a 3.1 mile run through downtown Grinnell. You can participate as an individual or a team of 3. And if you're not quite ready to commit to those distances, you can participate in our Mini Triathlon, an event perfect for newcomers and kids because of the shorter distances.
April 14 is also the date for the Live Healthy Iowa 5K, so if you'd prefer to simply run a 5K rather than swim, bike and run, make plans to join us at 10am for that event. You can register here: https://www.
We are fortunate to have the support of our friends at Grinnell State Bank to help bring these fun events to the community this spring and summer, and we hope you'll join us for the fun, now spanning more weekends!
p.s. Save the date now and start training for the 5K & Half Marathon Grinnell Games events, scheduled for June 16. And like our facebook page: Grinnell Games, to learn of additional activities and new events as soon as they're announced!
