HUTCHINSON, Kan. — It’s hard to know what activities will be held and what will be canceled with the pandemic, but Hutch Rec announced that entries are being taken for the annual Salty Dog Triathlon Aug. 8.
The popular event will have participants swim 400 meters in the pool, bike 10.5 miles on a course closed to vehicles and run 3.1 miles on a paved trail. The entire event is held within Carey Park. The event is chip-timed, which assists with the accuracy of each leg, transition and overall results.
There will be awards after the event and all participants will receive a finisher's medal, plus awards for the overall male/female finishers and top three male/female finishers in selected age groups.
Hutch Rec says it has every intention of having this event. If it is canceled because of COVID-19, a refund will be issued.
