WARRINGTON TOWNSHIP, PA — The Marshall Financial/Warrington Cares Sprint Triathlon steps off on Sunday, Sept. 10 at 7 a.m. at the Mary Barness Community Pool, 2501 Freedoms Way, Warrington 18976.

This year's race consists of a 300-meter swim, a 10-mile bike ride, and a 5K race through the streets of Warrington.

In addition to the Triathlon, athletes can participate in:

• Aquavelo — a two-part race consisting of a 300-meter swim and a 10-mile bike ride

• Duathlon — a two-part race consisting of a 10-mile bike ride and a 2-mile run

• Triathlon Relay — a team of three people who each perform a segment of the race individually.

The Aquavelo, Duathlon, Triathlon and Triathlon Relay are ideally suited for persons starting out as triathletes and those who are training for major triathlons.

Medals will be awarded to the top three finishers for men and women and for the top three finishers in each age category. The entry fee is $85 for the Triathlon, $75 for the Duathlon or Aquavelo and $115 for the Triathlon Relay.

“We are so pleased to once again bring the community together for this annual event," said Barry Luber, president of Warrington Cares. "The money raised supports Warrington Cares, whose
mission is to help families in need and nonprofit organizations that serve our community.”

Luber continued, “We want to thank our generous and dedicated sponsors, especially this year’s
title sponsor, Marshall Financial, without whom the Triathlon would not be possible.”

The Marshall Financial/Warrington Care Sprint Triathlon is the major fundraiser for Warrington Cares, raising more than $100,000 over the past five races. Proceeds from this year’s event will provide scholarships to local high school students; funds for local food banks/pantries; support for local families in need; and assistance to other small, local non-profit organizations that help the community.

The official timekeeper for the triathlon is DQ Events. Registration for this year’s event is completely digital and all participants must sign up online. Event organizers are not providing paper applications, nor are they accepting cash. Online registration closes when the race starts.
