playgrounds...
The Augusta Canal.
The posted coordinates will take you to the start of
the event
The Historical "Sibley Mill and Confederate Powder Works
Chimney".
Each participant is responsible for supplying their own
equipment.
We will have the canal staged with volunteers to guard your
personal equipment.
If you can't participate in the triathlon, maybe you would be
interested in being a volunteer by helping behind the scenes.
We are in need of 8 to 12 volunteers to help at the stages and to
haul athletes, bikes and kayaks.
ALSO, we understand if you can't do all the stages due to health
reasons or
lack of equipment such as a bike or kayak.
We are also accepting Team Participants for this race. If you want
to participate and you haven't a bike or kayak. You can sign up
requesting to be member of a relay team.
For instance, you are not interested in doing Stage 1 or you
haven't a bike to do Stage 2, you could sign up saying you're
interested in kayaking with a Relay Team.
Relay Teams will consist of 3 people(one person per stage).
Teams are responsible for building their own members. Each person
interested in being a Relay Member, must log who their team members
are and what stage their participating in.
