The Fourth Annual Salt Springs Triathlon will be held this year on Saturday, September 5, 2009.
The first Salt springs Triathlon was held in 2006. Soon after planning began, Susquehanna and many surrounding counties were devastated in the flood of June 2006. The bridge in Franklin Forks, over which the triathletes had to cross, was swept away. We were sure it wouldn't be replaced in time, but it was. It was a glorious beginning. Read more about it here.
The Salt Springs Triathlon actually consists of two races, with the shorter Sprint-distance event becoming established as an ideal first-time triathlon. At 9.5 miles, its bike leg is shorter than the customary 15 miles, and the course is set on the gently rolling hills of Rt. 29 and Silver Creek Road, with no steep climbs. The swim leg is also on the short side for a Sprint event. So for anyone who has entertained thoughts of participating in a triathlon but didn't know where to start, the Salt Springs Triathlon is just what you have been looking for!
If you are a seasoned triathlete looking for a challenge, enter the Olympic event, which is definitely hardcore. (And don't blame the Race Director about the difficulty of the Olympic course - you've been warned!)
The gourmet, athletes-only buffet after the event will replenish the calories expended during the race in sumptuous fashion.
