STILL TIME TO REGISTER FOR THE PIONEER POWER SPRINT TRIATHLON

DENTON , Texas (June 27) – Attention prospective triathletes - there is still time to register for the first annual Pioneer Power Sprint Triathlon.

This USA Triathlon sanctioned event, scheduled for Sunday, July 1, on the campus of Texas Woman’s University, will begin at 6:45 a.m. and consists of a 300 meter swim, a 20 kilometer bike ride, and a 3.3 mile run. Entry forms for this triathlon will be accepted through Saturday, June 30.

The swim will take place in the indoor pool of Pioneer Hall. Both the bike and run courses will start and finish on the interior of the TWU campus (in front of the Blagg-Huey Library).

Ironhead Race Productions, a Fort Worth based company, will manage and produce the race.

To register for the Pioneer Power Sprint Triathlon, please visit the Ironhead Productions website at http://ironheadrp.com/calendar/calendar.htm#pps . From June 8-27, the individual registration fee is $55.00. From June 28-30, the individual registration fee is $65.00. Registration will not be allowed on race day.

All profits from the Pioneer Power Sprint Triathlon will benefit the TWU Soccer program. Fleur Benatar, the Pioneers head soccer coach and a competitive triathlete herself, is looking forward to the event.

“I’m excited,” said Benatar. “This is going to be an excellent triathlon. The TWU campus is the perfect place to host a race such as this one. Hopefully we’ll get a strong turnout for this inaugural competition.”
