It’s called the Hollidaysburg YMCA’s Community Wellness Challenge Series – and Saturday morning it was a challenge.
Over 350 athletes braved the humidity and the heat for the Canoe Creek Triathlon and Races.
Some choose the triathlon – heading to the water first for a half mile, then riding their bikes for 13 miles more and then running a 5k. Others ran just the 5k or walked a 2 mile course.
As mom Melissa LaBorde explains to her children, who were all on the 2 mile walk, “Maybe like today, if you are tired and the weather is humid, you go at your own pace and go from there.”
The next Y challenge series run will be the Diamond Dash on September 10th.
