The Riverside Police Foundation is hosting its 3rd Annual RIVERSIDE TRIATHLON on October 19th at Bobby Bonds Sports Complex. This multi-sport event consists of a 5K run, 12-mile bike and finishes with a 150 meter swim (3 laps). The course, which begins at University Avenue then up and back Victoria Avenue, is flat and fast. It is police controlled for the safety of all. Triathlons can be intimidating, but this Reverse Sprint distance is ideal for beginners as well as the seasoned triathlete, explains Kandi DiCarlo, President of the Tri Connection in Riverside/Rancho Cucamonga. We host clinics, as well as free personal advice geared to benefit all levels. Given this is a major accomplishment, we proudly honor each finisher with a medal, states Judy Cunningham, Race Director for the event. However, we award place medals for individuals, teams and our Challenge Cups. “All proceeds from the triathlon will be used to further community outreach by promoting programs that provide a service to youth,” said Riverside Chief of Police Sergio Diaz. “The Foundation was looking at ways to not only raise money to fund these worthwhile programs, but which would also promote our hopes of community involvement.” Chip timing with splits will be utilized and a police controlled course will allow for a fast and safe event.
