Gillie Girl Sprint Triathlon
The Gillie Girl Sprint Triathlon takes place at Gillie Lake at Veteran's Memorial Park in Camillus, New York. This event is designed for women and features a course set in a natural, scenic location approximately 2 miles off Route 5. The event aims to support breast cancer research through participant donations and fundraising efforts.
The competition includes the following options:
- Sprint Triathlon: A 1/2 mile swim (2 loops) in the spring-fed Gillie Lake, a relatively flat 15 mile bike course, and a 5k run.
- Relay Team: A team-based version of the sprint triathlon distances.
- Sprint Aquabike: A category consisting of the 1/2 mile swim and the 15 mile bike course only.
The race course is designed to be spectator friendly, allowing friends and family to view the participants. After the biking segment of the Aquabike or the final run of the triathlon, participants can access the race infield for refreshments. The event maintains a family atmosphere and provides participants with various items such as swag and entertainment.
Registration is open to a wide range of ages, typically starting from 10 or 12 depending on the specific event category. The bike course is described as relatively flat, and the swim takes place in a natural lake environment. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
