Patriot’s Triathlon: Bath, PA

Here at FitEgg.com, we’re constantly searching for new events to share with our readers.  Today I discovered a triathlon and multisport events company called Piranha Sports.  Piranha Sports produces quite a few triathlons and duathlons in the mid-Atlantic area.  A sad note, one of the Piranha events, Tri for Our Veterans, suffered a serious loss last week.  Matt McCulley, the founder and race director of the event, passed away on 12 January.   Our condolences.

The Patriot’s Tri features both a sprint and a Half Lite 50, a race distance between an oly and a Half IM.  The Sprint is a 650m swim, a 15 mile bike, and a 3 mile run.  The Half Lite 50 is a 1300m swim, a 41 mile ride, and a 7.6 mile run.  For the 2010 Season, the Patriot’s Triathlon is 25 July in Bath, PA.

The Patriot’s Tri is the 6th race in the Greater Atlantic Multisport Series and the Greater Atlantic Club Challenge.  The 2010 Patriot’s Tri features a freshwater swim course, a rolling bike course and a semi-shaded run.

The Half Lite 50 seems like a great distance and I’m sure it’s helpful for those triathletes making the transition from an oly to a Half IM.  If you’re interested in the Sprint or the Half Lite 50, you can register for the Patriot’s Triathlon.
