Bermuda Day Half-Marathon champion and the defending Tokio Millennium Re Sprint Triathlon champion Tyler Butterfield spent time this morning talking to www.islandstats.com.
Butterfield said, “With the deadline on Thursday I just want to encourage those out there and bring awareness to the Tokio Millennium Re Sprint Triathlon scheduled for Sunday June 9th at the Albuoy’s Point.
The triathlon is opportunity for all abilities from age seven and up. Those new to the sport are encouraged to participate in the Try-a-Tri event featuring a 200m Swim, 8km Bike and 2km Run. Individuals and teams can also take part in the sprint distance race consisting of a 750m Swim, 20km Bike and 5km Fun.”
Companies can enter teams for either the Corporate Division or the (Re) Insurance Division, which compete over the same distance as the senior athletes and have the chance to win $5,000 for their charity of choice. Kids aged seven to 10-years-old can compete in a Duathlon comprised of a 1km run, 4km bike and another 1km run. Juniors 11 to 14-years-old will compete over a longer distance — 2km run, 8km bike and 2km run.
