The event, hosted by CBJ Parks & Recreation in partnership with Aukeman Triathlon, will take place on Sunday, April 27 at Dimond Park. Teams of three will compete in a sprint-length triathlon course consisting of a 150-yard swim, 1.25 mile bike ride, and 0.5 mile run. The combined team race time will determine the winners.
