The Reston Relay Triathlon (RRT) is a team-based Triathlon race and operates under the Reston Relay Triathlon Board. The purpose of the race is to introduce athletes to the sport of triathlon, without the daunting task of having to be proficient in each of the three disciplines. It is also to encourage families, friends and co-workers to participate in an event that promotes a healthy lifestyle and camaraderie. The Reston Relay Tri is a non-profit activity presented by the YMCA Fairfax County Reston and Reston Association. Proceeds will provide scholarships to support kids programs offered by The Y and by the Reston Association, including summer camps and classes. Click here for more information on volunteer opportunities. Volunteers are needed for many different areas. To volunteer go to: http://bit.ly/1gjS9Kh. |
