2012 White Star PT Services Triathlon:
Join HFP Racing, PT Services and the Sandusky County Park District as we bring back the White Star PT Services Triathlon on July 21st at White Star Park in Gibsonburg.
The race will feature a 750 yard swim in the crystal clear White Star quarry followed by a 20k (12.4 miles) bike on the country roads around the park and finishing with a flat two lap 5k trail run.
This race is the perfect first timer event or a flat and fast PR opportunity for the veteran triathlete.

Course Info:
|
Our venue (White Star Park Quarry) is unique because it provides clean, clear, algae and seaweed-free water for the swim.
This is a huge plus for athletes as many races offer muddy, cloudy water and detract from the participants willing to take the plunge.
The quarry is deep and is also a popular scuba diving venue.
The bike portion will take place on county roads with crossroads well maintained for the safety of the athletes.
The run portion will take place on the well-maintained wooded trails that have been used by the local cross country team as well as hikers and nature enthusiasts. The shady trails will offer a cool break from the summer sun.
Both men and women are able to compete, and teams of two or three participants competing as a relay team are welcome as well.
We welcome first timers as well as veteran athletes!
