2009 Tri-City Challenge Adventure Triathlon:

The TriCity Challenge is a mini-Triathlon created to generate funds and awareness for the financial assistance program at the Fox Valley Family YMCA.

All proceeds from this event will go toward the financial assistance program. This way, many less fortunate families in your community will benefit. In addition, the Tri-City Challenge will unite the three communities of Yorkville, Plano, and Sandwich for a fun and friendly competition.

The race is open to anyone from any city, so put a team together or sign up as an individual and join the fun!
